Key Stroking Mastercam X~X3

If you want to navigate Mastercam with keystrokes, you will possibly need to make an adjustment to Windows itself. In Mastercam, if you type ALT you will see the characters on the main menu become underscored. Those characters are what you type to access that particular menu. When that menu drops down, if you no longer see any of the menu choices underscored, then you may need to make the change outlined below:

(1) Minimize Mastercam and Right-Click on your desktop

(2) Select properties, appearance and click on effects

(3) Make sure "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key" is unchecked. (See image below)

(4) Click on OK, then close and re-start Mastercam.


Now you are ready to be a power user, happy key stroking in Mastercam.
