In the 2010 release of SOLIDWORKS, Mouse Gestures were introduced. In SOLIDWORKS 2012 this functionality has been further enhanced with some NEW commands. Now you can customize SOLIDWORKS Mouse Gestures with the Ok, Cancel, and Escape commands, as well as keyboard shortcut keys, and macros.
To assign Mouse Gestures:
- With a document open in SOLIDWORKS, go to Tools > Customize and select the Mouse Gestures tab.
- From the Category drop down box select “Others”, or search for the commands directly by name in the search box.
- You can choose to have 4 or 8 gestures.
