Common Altium schortcuts are not working in the CircuitStudio trial version

warcih

Hi,

 

I recently downloaded the CircuitStudio and installed the trial license. After I had created the electrical diagram, I started to design the PCB, then I discovered that common Altium schortcuts are not working in my trial version.

In the CircuitStudio documentation ( Grids and Units | Online Documentation for Altium Products ) shift+q keys are used to toggle units, but in the CicruitStudio schortcuts window this keys combination is not given.

Is this just the trial license limitation?

 

Thanks

    Hi Jacek,

    It's Ctrl + q in the object edit dialog.

    To toggle the current workspace units between imperial and metric:

    • Click the Home | Grids and Units | Imperial or Metric button on the ribbon.
    • Press the Q shortcut, this can be done at any time (while executing a command, or not).
    • While editing in an object dialog, press Ctrl+Q to toggle the units in that dialog - note that this does not change the workspace units, it only applies to the current use of the dialog.

    Hello Ashok,

     

    I read the CircuitStudio documentation, but in current version of the CircuitStudio, the Q shortcut is disabled. The snapshot below is taken from the PCB editor shortcuts help.  As you can see the Q shortcut is not listed in the build-in documentation, thus you cannot toggle between imerial and metric units in the PCB editor using keyboard.

     

    CTRL + q works well in the edit dialog.

     

    Did developers remove this shortcut from the CircuitStudio?

    Hi Jacek,

    Thanks for the screenshot. I'll have to check with Altium if they disabled Q or if the documentation needs an update. Thanks for bringing this up.
