Zoom Window

Is there a key, or shortcut key, or custom shortcut key, to trigger Zoom Window ?

I don't know of anyway to assign it a shortcut key. (mainly from not messing with this enough or knowing how/if its possible. I don't think it is)

But i do know that you can add it to the 'S'-Key by simply typing 'S'>Zoom and then hitting the arrow to pin it to the shortcuts.

Hello,

I have 15 years on Inventor, but am new to fusion. Can you explain in a little more detail please !?

I continually use zoom window and zoom all .....

In Inventor,

W triggers zoom window.

Q triggers zoom All

Z triggers zoom.

I would like something similar. Too much movement to click on the zoom icon, then haveing to select zoom window....

Please any additional insight..

Yes, the S key opens the short cut menu, and simply pressing S will bring up many shortcuts which can be pinned as shown here: Note you'll need to add it to model and sketch spaces as they have different shortcuts.

Thank You for this information.

Too many keystrokes.

I hope the development team improves the keyboard shortchuts. I have been requesting them since 2009. It's one of the reasons I keep puttting off using Fusion.

My apologies...

I did not notice at first, that you could pin the selected shortcut above the search textbox, on the window box that appears when you press the 'S' key.

Already better....

I Would still like to have a ONE key shortcut to 'Zoom window' as its a really common action, more so than Fit (F6)

Sorry to crash this (but I cant find an open feedback space for this)..

I use 'Zoom Window' ALL the time and would LOVE to have a single key keyboard shortcut for it.

Please can you forward this onto appropriate feedback person.

thanks

Mark

yes I use this all the time too. Way more than "fit" which has it's own short cut

I'd love to see the ability to make macros. Been using Creo (proe) for over 30 years and the ability to make and record macros has been invaluable.

I normally do not reply on older threads like this with a marked solution, however, this one interests me as well and i did a great deal of research into this with another similar command/tool.

There is a way to create custom shortcuts for hidden commands but at the time of the original thread i was not aware of it. The full steps are here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/article/Customizing-hidden-shortcut-keys-in-Fusion-360 which will be available soon (within 24 hours).

Note i did not write the additional locations for macOS because i've not had the time to verify there exact location. But it should be around here: ~Users/username/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/webdeploy

For example the command you all are looking for should be this in text commands:

HotKey.Dialog ZoomWindowViewCommand

Then assign it to something UNUSED
