Abstract

Deswik.CAD is a leading parametric mine design and geology modeling software, known for its flexibility and powerful toolset. As with any Computer-Aided Design (CAD) system, proficiency is directly linked to operational speed. Keyboard shortcuts in Deswik serve not merely as alternatives to mouse clicks but as essential tools for maintaining geological and engineering workflow momentum. This paper details the default, customizable, and hidden shortcut ecosystems within Deswik, categorizing them by function (file management, viewport control, object snapping, and editing). Furthermore, it explores best practices for customizing the deswik.keys file and integrating macros to reduce repetitive strain and minimize data entry errors in mine planning.
