Hmm...

Great question, try to search something in Microsoft app store.

To me, it seems the most used commands more like Pan, rotate, zoom, sketch, create new file, open, save, extrude, Revolve, directedit, etc.

Hope it helps!

Well... since i'm using a 3d mouse the Pan zoom and rotate are less used X)

I may follow the chart of autodesk but it may not reflect my use of inventor

Thats why it should be interesting to have an add on for that

I was planning to make an addin for that.

So that I can customize radial gesture menus better.

I used Inventor without customizing any mouse button. Right click got most of the stuff done.

On the other hand, I'm using a 16 buttons mouse for SolidWorks.

Have this minimal 3D-mouse (2 extra buttons) to the left and a normal 2+wheel mouse to the right. All view commands are done with these + the view cube (home and predefined views, double cklick to fit,...). Every IV environment can have its own commands for the 3D-mouse. In assembly it's set to measure with the left button and constrain with the right button. In part it's also measure to the left and nothing to the right. Most common commands are added to the quick access bar at the top. I think that thinking about useful shortcuts will bring you further than statistics.
