use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

(OP)
I would like to know how can i configure the possiblity of i introduce a serie combination of keys for instance, "zz" give me a "zoom" "previous"

RE: use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

Put the following in your acad.lsp
Just copy and paste this one.  Now you see the format


(defun c:zz () (command "zoom" "p"))

That should do it

RE: use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

Good ont, DemarEngr.  To go a little further:

I use the following:

Z to start Zoom,
ZE to zoom extents then .95x,
ZP for zoom previous,
PZE to change to Paper Space, zoom extents, change back to Model Space and zoom window,
ZW for zoom window,
Z9 for zoom .9x,
Z7 for zoom .7x,
Z5 for zoom .5x,
ZD for zoom dybamic,
ZN for zoom using no snaps,
EZ for zoom using endpoint snaps and
W for zoom window

All in the Acad.lsp file.

RE: use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

I have done this successfully in r14, but I saved the same acad.lsp file in my support directory for version 2002 lt but it is not recognized.  There is no mention of .lsp files in help for the lt version either.  

Is this one of the features the lt version is missing, or is it still possible to create shortcuts for zoom window, extents, previous and dynamic?

RE: use just one key of keyboard to make zoom previous

LT out of the box does not recognize lisp - that's one reason why it is less expensive.  If there is an acd.pgp file, you may be able to put it there.
