In this tutorial, discover 6 essential shortcuts in SOLIDWORKS Composer

In this article, we'll introduce you to the 6 essential keyboard shortcuts in SOLIDWORKS Composer that will make you more productive when rendering graphics for your communication media.

Step 1

1. The H

The H key on the keyboard (from "hide") lets you quickly hide your selection. The principle is simple: select the elements you wish to hide, press H and you're done!
