'shortcuts' in ACAD 2006
Mochyn Brwnt :8(
and am trying to get my head round the prog (and there is a lot to take
in!).
On my old cad system, it was possible to allocate a key do do several
things, e.g. pressing '1' would change to linestyle x, colour y and
lineweight z
I think I have grasped the concept of aliases, most of which which appear
to be 'Ctrl+key'. Can I assign single keys to replicate the above?
Any help greatfully received.

or space. for example o is for offset, t is for text block etc

Thanks for prompt reply. Where do I find a definitive list of these
shortcuts and how to modify?
Cheers.

I have 200 and you can find it bu selecting Help from the menu, and
clocking AutoCAD help. Under the Contents Menu, select Command
References and then Command Aliases. This should give you an extensive
list of commands to enter in the command prompt.

I, too, just started using 2006. The file you want is acad.pgp. Itis there
and hard to find...it is buried in the program files. Use help for Alias
Commands or something like that. You can edit it to what you want, but make
a copy of the orig. file to save, especially if it is not your pc and
belongs to the company.

However, getting one key to do what amounts to a number of commands will
have to be done through other means as aliases are single commands only. You
will have to write scripts or lisps to do what you want then (maybe)assign a
key stroke for that lisp. I do that sort of thing a lot and it really speeds
things up if you find yourself doing the same thing repeatedly.
A lisp that contains a couple of command calls is very simple to learn how
to do. Check the help. I have a bunch you can look at and modify to suit you
on my site.

[CONTROL+"L"]^c^c-LAYER
[CONTROL+"K"]$M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,pickadd),1),'pickadd 0,'pickadd 1)

You can revised the commands to suit your needs.
After that you include this accelerators to the bottom
of acad.mnu or any menu you are using. Then detached and
attached again your menu to take effect
Good Luck
