Shortcuts

Master Rayon's shortcuts to draw faster.

Now that we have discovered all of Rayon's commands, let's have a look at shortcuts. In Rayon, shortcuts come in two kind: shortcut mode and command line mode.

Additionally, for the command line mode, users can choose whether to use Rayon's command line keys or use AutoCAD-like keys, in any of the available languages the app supports.

Learn more about command access mode here.


Drawing tools

Shortcuts in Rayon can be swapped between sets: a Rayon set and AutoCAD-like set are available today. Swapping can be done in your user settings page.

  • Mode toggles follow a fixed convention: A switches the command's main mode, B its second mode when it has one, and L toggles once/loop.

  • CTRL mentioned below corresponds to ⌘ CMD for Mac users.
