Right click drag mouse button shortcut for sketch tools

[Anonymous]

Hello, I remember seeing somewhere where if you right click the mouse and drag down a blue streak will trail and it will bring up the line tool. I also know that dragging in other configurations such as  zigzags/ up/ down/ down and left/right all bring up different tools. I cannot remember where I seen this and use the down drag for the line tool all the time. Anyone know where I can find a video or list of all these shortcuts? I think the video I originally seen it was in one of the learning tutorials I seen on here in the learning  section but I cannot find it again so I may be mistaken. Thank you for any help.

hi truhlmanjr,

you're talking about our second level marking menus.

not sure what videos you may be referring to, but if you hold on the sketch cell of the first level marking menu, the secondary will pop up.  As you develop muscle memory, for the second level you can quickly gesture your mouse movements to positions and eliminate the move and hold process.

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. I found the video that I first seen it in, it was in Lesson 11: Marking Menu under Getting Started in Fusion 360 which is in Learning Fusion 360 for Absolute Beginners. It is going to be a bit of a learning curve for me to get the hang of this but I think it will save me a lot of time once I get used to it. Thank you again!
