Overview
There are three key types of keyboard shortcut in Project Explorer:
- Shortcuts which enable you to instantly zoom or pan to any currently selected object in the AutoCAD viewport from the Project Explorer window.
- Shortcuts which enable you to easily identify an object, sub-object, or object relationship displayed in the Project Explorer window, by applying temporary highlighting to the AutoCAD viewport.
- Shortcuts which enable you to access the Civil 3D Properties window for any selected object in the Project Explorer window.
