Searching for a "Search" command... or "Find"?

Anonymous — Fri, 13 May 2016 23:45:08 GMT

As I am learning the Fusion 360 environment, I keep wanting a "find" command which will find the tool I'm looking for (like Chamfer, or the Scale tool, for example).

In my native Sketchup environment, I drop down the Help menu, the first box on the list is a "Search" field, which searches through all of the menus and finds all instances of the word...

I'm wondering if Fusion has an analagous utility, which would be able to help me immensely in finding my way around this new and alien design environment.

Are you looking for something like the feature described in the below blog post?

Use the "s" key with no commands active to access the command search tool.

Thanks,

Yes, that is very helpful. Thank you!

One thing that might be a helpful addition to that search utility is if it showed where the tool is in the menu system...the Sketchup search utility shows the tool in its menu context, which helps me to know where it is next time I go looking for it.
