    How to make a Revit Shortcut

    Revit shortcuts are managed by selecting Views>User Interface>Keyboard Shortcuts. To import the suggested shortcut keys, use the Import... button and browse to C:\Program Files\Ideate\Ideate Software 201X\IdeateApps.  The XML file provided has pre-defined shortcuts that can be merged with your existing shortcuts so that keyboard entries will launch the specified IdeateApps tool.

    Suggested Shortcut Keys

    Revit does permit duplicates, so be sure to verify that any new shortcuts are not duplicating existing ones.  In the case of duplicates, Revit permits cycling through the duplicates through the use of the arrow keys. The following shortcuts are recommended to minimize the risk of duplication.  These can be manually imported from the XML file stored at C:\ProgramData\Ideate\IdeateApps.  

    Ideate ReNumber - Shift+R

    Ideate QuickSelect - Shift+Q

    Ideate SmartDelete - Shift+D

    Ideate XRAY - Shift+X
