How do I setup ADS Hotkeys & Window Preferences for Layout?
The downloadable zip file (available from the Documents & Downloads table below) contains both the hotkey mappings and window preferences for work in Advanced Design System (ADS) Layout. Many of these hotkeys are considered to be industry standards and will help you increase your efficiency in layout designs. Please note that the use of these files will override any settings and hotkeys that you have already set up in your ADS environment.
To install,
- Unzip the folder and place the contents in C://Users/YOUR_USERNAME/hpeesof/config
- Reboot ADS and your settings should have been updated.
The following hotkeys are mapped with this file:
