Hotkeys (also known as "nested commands") are available anytime VisualCAM has prompted you to enter a point or is idle. All hotkeys are executed immediately without affecting the current command. Some hotkeys are a toggle, which means that pressing the key will turn a mode on or off.
When a hotkey has an equivalent menu command, it is indicated. Equivalents for most hotkeys are also available through a right-click, context sensitive, shortcut menu, if enabled.

*To change the default mouse functions, use the Function Key/Mouse Button tab in the Options|Configure command.
**Because the F10 key is reserved by a Windows function, the F10 hotkey from ViewMaster, which opens the Layer Table, cannot be emulated.
