RE: LIST OF COMMANDS

search for file acad.pgp in your autocad folder. Open in notepad.

ACAD 2002

RE: LIST OF COMMANDS

If you have 2005, you can get there by Tools, Customize, Edit Custom Files, Program Parameters (autocad pgp).

You can also edit them to make them what you prefer.  For example, co is copy, which I use a lot, but requires both hands to type. C is circle, which I use less often, but only takes one key stroke.  I changed c to copy and circle to cc.

RE: LIST OF COMMANDS

bigplc -
Command aliases can be found in the acad.pgp file and also the acad.lsp file.  As others have mentioned there are many ways to access these ASCII files, from within Autocad as well as using external text editors.  If you are interested, you can read these files to learn the syntax of the methods (which are different within each file) and then make your own.  I use I, S, C, E, Q, P, T and N as single letter commands to change OSNAPS, EC for End and Center OSNAPS, EQ for End and QUandrand OSNAPS, L for line, CI for circle, Z for Zoom, ZE for Zoom Extents and zillions more, of varying complexity.

RE: LIST OF COMMANDS

I have that list in my files.  I don't remember if that's from a web page or in the AutoCAD help file but either way it's a list of keyboard shortcuts.
