Practice Onshape keyboard shortcuts

Drill all 42 until you don't have to think about them.

single keys, but context is everything

Web-only (Onshape runs in the browser); covers documented ship-default hotkeys for sketching, Part Studio, view, and Assembly, but omits generic OS/browser chords, pure mouse gestures, and some trimmed view keys (Shift+Z, Shift+2..6) — and note these single-letter keys are mode-sensitive, so each card's stated context matters.

The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 7: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

1. Level 15 moves

   In an active sketch, start dragging out a straight line.

   L

   The first stroke of almost every sketch; your hand should find it blind.

   …and 4 more at this level

2. Level 25 moves

   Drop a center-point circle into the active sketch.

   C

   Holes and bosses start as circles more often than not.

   …and 4 more at this level

3. Level 37 moves

   Drag a rectangle out from its center in the active sketch.

   R

   Symmetric bosses want a center-anchored box, not a corner one.

   …and 6 more at this level

4. Level 46 moves

   Constrain two sketch entities to run tangent.

   Smooth line-to-arc handoffs depend on it.

6. Level 67 moves

   Constrain two sketch entities parallel.

   Keeps slots and ribs from drifting out of true.

   …and 6 more at this level

7. Level 76 moves
