The L shortcut: Activating Your Last-Used Classification

The L shortcut lets you quickly return to the last classification you used, without needing to find it in the Quantities Panel again.

How it works

If your last-used classification is no longer active, press L to reactivate it. Your next takeoff will be created under that same classification.

How to Use the L Shortcut

  1. Press L
    If the classification you were using is no longer selected, hit L on your keyboard.

  2. Draw your takeoff as normal
    Create the takeoff the same way you usually do.

  3. Finish the takeoff
    Complete the shape (e.g., double-click to finish for area/linear).

✅ The item you draw will automatically use your last-used classification.

Tip: Use L when you’re switching between tools or navigating sheets and want to quickly continue takeoff in the same classification without reselecting it manually.
