How do I change the key bindings for design navigation?

This tutorial requires:

DesignSpark Mechanical V6.0

In the Navigation menu of File -> DesignSpark Mechanical Options, you can change your default keyboard and mouse controls.

Select a control, choose an option from the control setting´s dropdown, and click OK.

You can also assign shortcut keys to quickly run any command in DesignSpark Mechanical. Provide the custom key bindings in File -> DesignSpark options -> Customize -> Shortcut

Example: the F2 key is allocated to PAN. When you press F2, you can simply pan across the object with your left mouse button or a touch pen.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer by qualification though I worked for a long time specialising in Motion Control systems and integration with various PLC systems. I've wide experience of many types of applications from packaging machines to military and some applications that I can't mention. At home, I like to tinker and make things with wood, metal, plastics, electronics and mechanical system. I'm never happier than with a hammer and a screwdriver in my hands....
