Life is full of shortcuts but those typically don't work out well for anyone. Well that’s not the case with SOLIDWORKS shortcuts. There are many places to use shortcuts in parts and sketches.
/ A  l# p$ I4 X- G: C$ EThink about how you create a model in SOLIDWORKS. You choose a sketch plane, start a sketch, find a sketch entity to use, add some dimensions, then extrude that sketch into a feature. You do this over and over again until the model is created. But during that process are you being as efficient as you can be? Are you using any SOLIDWORKS shortcuts? Well I hope you are.  Y' x* \( N/ L. V. r+ G
When I’m teaching, I emphasis SOLIDWORKS shortcuts.  I say they really will help get your design done quicker but I never really had any data to put behind it.  So I figured that I would model the same part 2 different ways.  One way I would model using my typical shortcuts and the other would be with none.  I timed myself modeling both ways to see which one was faster.  I also downloaded 2 tools to help track my mouse movements.  One shows where my mouse has been with a black line and the other tracks the distance in feet that my mouse has traveled.

It took me 226 seconds to model it and my mouse traveled 28 feet. That isn't too bad as a good base value. Here is what the mouse path graphic looks like.花了226秒完成建模，鼠標移動總位移28英尺。% {1 S: t- L  e' l' N
You can see that my mouse really stayed in the middle of my screen right where my model is. I didn't need to move to the command manager for anything. 你也能看到鼠標指針的移動痕跡比較均勻對稱; C( P' Z. o5 m0 [- [9 f
Now let’s look at the one where I didn't use any SOLIDWORKS shortcuts. I knew that this one would be slower and I would have a lot more mouse movement.下面是不使用快捷方式的操作，不用想，肯定慢。1 ?9 G1 j1 ?$ |4 g& a

  As you can see, my mouse spent more time on the property manager and command manager than in the graphics area.正如你所看到的，鼠標指針大部分時間是在圖形區(qū)域間移動。

Let’s take a look at the numbers.  I can see that I had a savings of 46% in time and 73% in mouse movement by using SOLIDWORKS shortcuts. 讓我們看看這些數字，我可以看到使用快捷方式節(jié)省了46%的時間和73%的鼠標指針位移。1 E. Q# ]5 p. B2 W: {( |
洋人的思維果然跟咱們不一樣，咱們是操作下來，感覺快了就認同快捷方式的確省時間，但人家一定要做個實驗，記錄數據，通過計算來證明。當然我們也可以說這家伙閑的蛋疼
