Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor allows you to easily manage and add keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) to a large set of actions (commands) in Autodesk® Fusion®. Combined with Extra Shortcuts it can significantly speed up your workflow.

Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor also provides the ability to add commands to any toolbar panel, including a Favorites panel, which is visible regardless of which toolbar tab you select.

Features:

  • Assign keyboard shortcuts to a large set of Fusion commands.
  • List all currently assigned keyboard shortcut assignments.
  • Create keyboard shortcuts using any keyboard key, including some mouse buttons, and override unchangeable Fusion keyboard shortcuts (Does not work in the Drawing workspace). (Forced Shortcuts)
  • Assign keyboard shortcuts to Text Commands. (Custom Commands)
  • Add commands to any toolbar panel.
  • Easily pin and unpin commands on panels.
  • Favorites panel, that is available on every tab (= always visible). One for each workspace.

Below are some of the commands to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut (many of which you cannot edit without this add-in):

  • Activate component (FusionActivateLocalCompCmd)
  • Isolate, isolate all & unisolate (IsolateCmd, UnisolateCmd, UnisolateAllCmd)
  • Pan cursor (PanCommand)
  • Paste New (A component must be selected) (FusionPasteNewCommand)
  • Set and reset orbit center (SetOrbitCenterCommand, ResetOrbitCenterCommand)
  • Show All Bodies/Components (for selected in Browser) (ShowAllBodiesCmd, ShowAllComponentsCmd)
  • Zoom Window (drag a rectangle) (ZoomWindowViewCmd)
  • Previous/Next Workspace (CycleWorkspacesBackwardCommand, CycleWorkspacesForwardCommand)

Not all menu actions (e.g. "Home view") are represented as commands in Fusion. As such, they don't show up in Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor. The add-in Extra Shortcuts can be used to expand the set of available commands.

Note: The add-in lists all commands that it can find in Fusion. Not all commands are meant to be executed directly and might not do anything or, in the worst case, make Fusion crash. It is recommended that you save your current work before experimenting with new commands.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • What is the difference between Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor and Extra Shortcuts?

    Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor lets you manage commands that already exist in Fusion and that allow their keyboard shortcuts to be assigned. Extra Shortcuts addresses the problem of actions not allowing keyboard shortcuts to be assigned.

  • Why can't I find the command for XYZ?

    Unfortunately, not all actions have commands associated with them. Therefore they do not show up in the configuration window and cannot be assigned to toolbars or have their shortcuts modified. The add-in Extra Shortcuts seeks to overcome this problem by providing commands for those actions.

  • Why is the Favorites panel at the end of the toolbar?

    Due to restrictions in the add-in interface provided by Fusion it must be done this way.

  • Can all commands be edited?

    Currently, pre-existing panel items cannot be removed.

  • The configuration window keeps disappearing when I'm in the drawing workspace.

    For some reason, Fusion puts itself on top if the mouse hovers over the drawing area. Try making the windows smaller or open the configuration window when you have another workspace active.

  • I pinned/unpinned a command in the Favorites panel using the ⋮ menu, but the change was lost after restarting Fusion.

    Currently, the pinning of favorites must be edited using the configuration window to be stored correctly.

  • How can I access the configuration window in workspace ABC?

    The easiest way is to assign a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+M?) to open the configuration window. You can also add it to a toolbar in the workspace.

  • Why can't I purchase the add-in directly in the Autodesk® App Store?

    The App Store does not handle VAT. Therefore, an external provider is used.

  • There have been spurious reports for other add-ins that keyboard shortcuts get reset. If that happens to you, please detail what keyboard shortcut was assigned to what command. Also describe when it happened and what happened after you restarted Fusion after the event.
  • Fusion can stop reacting to assigned shortcuts if the add-in is stopped and started. Restart Fusion to make the shortcuts work again.
  • Sometimes Fusion will not show assigned shortcuts in the menus.
  • Pinning of commands in the Favorites panels must be done using the configuration window to be saved correctly.
  • Unfortunately, not all commands that are found can be run. Some might even crash Fusion.
  • Forced shortcuts will be in effect when the Text Commands pane is focused (advanced users).
  • Forced shortcuts do not work in the Drawing workspace.

Feel free to send an e-mail if there are problems with the add-in. Please describe exactly what to do to trigger the problem and what version you are using. Also, include any error messages. Please allow for some time for the response as this is a small business.
