Tools & Actions
The whole CAD design environment works the same way in every domain (insoles, shoe lasts, braces): you apply actions to objects. Once you learn this pattern you can use any tool in LutraCAD, because they all follow the same flow.
Undo & History
Every change you make in the design environment is recorded as an action. This means nothing is ever truly lost: you can revert any correction, put it back, or step back through your work. The history is the main way to fix a mistake or experiment safely.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard and mouse shortcuts speed up common tasks in the design environment. This page lists the shortcuts for changing the view, moving the camera, selecting and nudging objects, and the general commands.
Saving & Closing
Two buttons let you save your work and leave the design environment. They sit next to the Back and Next buttons that move between the design stages (tabs), on the right side of the screen at the bottom of the menu.
