# Design Shortcuts

Increase your design efficiency in MachineBuilder by mastering these essential shortcuts.

## **Reinsert Component**

Quickly reinsert the most recently used component without returning to the parts library.

1. Select the part from your existing design that you wish to reinsert.
2. Press **i** on your keyboard to snap another instance of the component to your cursor.i
3. Left-click in the design space to place the part at the desired location.

## **Hide Parts**

Temporarily hide selected components from view while keeping them in the design and the Bill of Materials (BOM).

1. Select the components you want to hide.
2. Press **Ctrl + H** to hide them.

> **Note:** Hidden components cannot be interacted with.

**Isolate Parts**

Focus on selected components by hiding everything else from view. Hidden components remain in the design and BOM.

1. Select the components to isolate.
2. Press **Ctrl + J** to display only the selected components.

## **Unhide Components**

Reveal all hidden components and make them interactive again.

Press **Ctrl + Shift + H** to unhide all components hidden using the **Hide** or **Isolate** features.
