Shortcut Highway V2.0 Now Available

[Marek Brandstatter]

Right I hope this is start of good things... Shortcut Highway V2.0 is now available for download. It's a complete overhaul with significant functionality improvements. As this is the first public release there may be a few gremlins but they shouldn’t take us long to sort out. Please post any technical problems with Shortcut Highway on its forum at http://www.digitalbuildingsolutions.com/forums/

For those who don't know - Shortcut Highway is a Revit productivity tool that allows you to edit and manage Autodesk Revit's Keyboard Shortcuts. Without Shortcut Highway the only way to edit shortcuts is with a standard text editor such as Notepad.

Key Features

• Manage Shortcuts across multiple Revit versions
• View Revit Commands in a easily navigatable Tree
• Powerful Filter & Search Capabilities
• Show Duplicate Shortcuts
• Group Shortcuts Alphabetically
• Show New Commands by Revit Version
• Revert to Revit's Default Shortcuts
• Compare 2 Shortcut Files
• Send Commands to Revit
• Create HTML Reports

works pretty good

a few bugs
I sent an email to support

It wouldn't recognize my customized shortcut file.
I think it was because it is an excel export.

it is really good at finding duplicates

There will be a new version of Shortcut Highway later today. For some reason I believed shortcuts could only be a maximum of two characters.

Anyway we're busy fixing it...

Marek,

While your $34 price is pretty dang cheap.... Do you have any plans or support for network licensing or licesning schemes for large corporations? Please feel free to PM me to dicuss this further. At this time I would say we are still in an evaluation mode.

Thank you,
-Robert

We plan to implement volume/site licensing in January (maybe sooner).

looks useful.

couple things:
icons under the "tools" category seem mixed up (Match, Paint, Split Face, Align, Split Walls and Lines, Trim/Extend, Offset)

Hi Marek, I had a question.
Can you please tell me once a new version of Revit comes out, if the current program will work, or will you need to update the software for it to work properly with newer releases?
In other words, when version 10 comes out, will we need to wait for an updated version of ShortcutHighway?

I was just curious. Either way the software would be valuable...

Thanks,
