Tambolina Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'm very new at IronCAD with no prior experience. My past work required me to use Autodesk Inventor. Some similarities but I have also been away from Inventor for over 2 years. My current dilemma is finding the assembly in my Scene that I'm working in. I know it's a ridiculous question. I will zoom out but then I lose the entire assembly. Is there a quick and easy way to reset or recenter my assembly? Also, do you recommend a user that I should follow for basic information? TY!

IronKevin Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 F8 to Fit the 3D Scene. https://www.ironcad.com/learning-center/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 https://ironcad.academy/ - Has a basic step-by-step beginning training video series that would be a good start. As Kevin mentioned, F8 will fit the geometry to the scene. If you rotate, the center will be the scene center unless your cursor is over geometry. In that case, it will rotate about the cursor click location at the start of the rotation. You can also use the target camera to set a rotation center and click in the empty scene to rotate about that targeted point. The target camera Ctrl-F7. Setting for the mouse behavior is under Tools/options/Interaction/mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Here is a page with a bunch of useful shortcut keys explained (auto-translated into English, but quite ok). https://en.solidmakarna.se/supportblogg/kortkommandon-i-ironcad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleczynski Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Best option is select part for example by ctrl + mouse and any time i use ctrl + b. Fast option for show in tree scene element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 In case your like me and not a big fan of shortcuts, simply right click on assembly in scene or browser and see attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSIMMONS Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 If you want to be really fancy you can bind it to a new shortcut or mouse button, but I don't even do this. I do the right click in scene browser method mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
