Workflow compact

PS_compact is therefore a workflow with only one tab on which all the necessary functions are grouped together.

AccuDraw shortcuts

Since the AccuDraw functions are considered secondary, the command calls that block the keyboard shortcuts have been moved to a sublevel.
This is called with A (like AccuDraw). So instead of calling T for AccuDraw Top, A and T must now be used. More details here:

Shortcut to display a tool group

Each tool group has the abbreviation shown in the name below it as a postfix, with which this group
can be called via keyboard.
For Connections press T and the tool group appears directly at the current mouse position.




In case this is not working, AccuDraw does not have focus. See here for details:

Start a tool

To be able to see the shortcuts for the most important commands after calling the tool group,
press the Alt key once.
Now the shortcuts are displayed directly at the commands.
So to start the Connection Center, you only have to press  TC.
The T for the tool group Connections and the C for Connection Center.
The first for calling the Edit function group and the second B for Drilling.

DropDown Menues

Since command invocation within DropDown menus does not work reliably, the most important commands are available with
the main tool and the DropDown menu beside.
For example the normal endplate can be called with EE and the dropdown for endplates with ED.
So the second letter is always a D for Dropdown and the direct command is always the same letter twice.

When entering TED the dropdown opens and the desired subitem must be selected with the mouse.
