If you move the cursor over a face within multiple faces and if the face is highlighted (using Fly-by highlighting), then press TAB to move to the next method in the selection method sequence (Boss/Pocket, Rib, Slot, Boss, and Pocket) to recognize the face.

If you move the cursor over a geometric custom feature, and if the feature is highlighted, then press TAB to highlight all the faces of the feature. Press TAB again to highlight the face that is just below the cursor. The tooltip changes each time that you press TAB.

If you select multiple elements and objects in the viewport, press TAB to go to the next selection in the selection list.

If you click the middle mouse button over a face while you hold the ALT key, a new workplane will be created parallel to this face and the 2D CoPilot starts in Line/Arc mode. If the face is not planar, the workplane's normal direction will be the normal direction of the face where you picked the face.

If you hold down the ALT and SHIFT keys and click a planar face with the middle mouse button, you initiate a command to move this face by its normal direction and length. Creo Elements/Direct Modeling will prompt you to enter the distance to move this face in its normal direction.

If you hold down the ALT and SHIFT keys and click a face with the left mouse button, you initiate a command to move this face by two points. Creo Elements/Direct Modeling will prompt you to pick the FROM point and then the TO point.
