[@TooTallToby]

Awww yeah glad these are helpful! What is SL?

[@sergeydukman5832]

I should have written SW

[@TooTallToby]

@@sergeydukman5832 Got it - take a look at the SHORTS I've been posting this year - there are TONS of efficiently and time saving tips and tricks in there for SW users

[@sergeydukman5832]

@@TooTallToby yes, I have seen many already. Extremely useful. I am Autodesk Inventor (10+ years) in background but started using SW. Many similarities. But your videos/shorts makes me efficient as bever before))

[@jedhightower3225]

@@antivenom6561 Ah, I see.. Thank you very much for replying. I appreciate it!

[@TooTallToby]

Lol - thanks Anti Venom - was excited to see your comment :-)

[@TooTallToby]

Sorry about that @Jed - It was a holiday here in the states today (yesterday) so I decided to skip - will be back next week.

Dallas 2019, I was Filming your Classes with a GoPro in the Front Row. I still want to get you that footage. I love your new Play by Play competition presentations.

[@TooTallToby]

nice! I remember! Glad that you found the new channel! :-)

[@gtxviper]

'Normal to' is probably my most used button... ctrl+8 is a pain... change to spacebar... sooo much quicker. It adds up over the days. Kl tip though, great for folk who haven't quite got to that second nature level

[@jedhightower3225]

spacebar is my normal to as well. much easier.

[@antivenom6561]

also you can bind "normal to" to your mouse gestures, then you just have to flick your mouse while holding the right mouse button.. and you are good to go..😊

[@jedhightower3225]

@@antivenom6561 Nice! Great idea there. Gonna have to set that up. Thank you!

[@gtxviper]

@@antivenom6561 could never get into mouse gestures for some reason (turned them off after a period)... stuck in my ways I guess. Kinda like autocad... I still type my commands in lol

[@TooTallToby]

Nice!

[@andrewmack4830]

great and useful video. Thanks

[@TooTallToby]

Awesome glad this helped!

[@pargeterw]

Yesss excited for more powermoves!
Personally I prefer to remap CTRL+8 to a single key (F8 for me) to speed up entering sketches, while allowing me to also not go normal to for more complex geometry as you discussed.

[@TooTallToby]

Nice - good idea Parge!

[@chriswarrior7385]

Another great tip!! Thanks Toby

[@TooTallToby]

Thanks Chris! Glad you liked this one!

Good work bro

[@TooTallToby]

thanks!

[@Kobar1927]

Thanks

[@TooTallToby]

My pleasure!

[@thomaspottie1129]

Thanks for the tips, at work i program the buton from 1 to 4 on my spacemouse pro with your tips, 1 = S ; 2 = CTRL + 8 ; 3 = CTRL + S ; 4 = Enter ... and with that, i use only the pad number on my keyboard, but i can do a lot just with my mouse and my spacemous pro

[@TooTallToby]

Oh wow that sounds like an EPIC setup! Thanks for sharing!!

[@mohammadshakibapour2547]

Very useful tip,Thank you🙏

Thanks Mohammad glad this helped!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks Nick glad you liked this!

[@STAiNLESS_CORE]

hmm. mine does not return to the original view when the extrude cut command is selected, it stays normal to the sketch.

[@TooTallToby]

yeah I've had that happen too. I'm not sure why It "sometimes" goes back to the original view, and sometimes it doesn't. It used to be a lot more consistent. Maybe this is some of that great new "enhanced functionality" that solidworks brags about for each release. :-)

[@STAiNLESS_CORE]

hmmmm, seems if i select sketch on the surface it works, but i have shortcuts for circle and rectangle etc, if i select those instead of sketch it stays normal to the sketch plane during the extruded cut operation.

[@TABL3SIX]

Just curious. What do you use for redlining, marking up you videos. Is that a snagit or camtasia feature?

[@TooTallToby]

Hi Table 3 Six - It's called ZOOM IT

[@TABL3SIX]

@@TooTallToby cool thanks for sharing. Love the videos. Always learn something new.

[@tambaurorastation756]

@@TooTallToby I have been wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking and the answer.

[@tomdunn7147]

That is what mine is set to.

[@TooTallToby]

sometimes I like it, but sometimes I dont - depends what type of geometry I'm working on

[@omri.d]

I thought this checked automatic upon install

[@TooTallToby]

I dont think it is - but it's easy enough to turn on. thanks for the comment!
