How to change Autocad shortcuts

How to change Autocad shortcuts

How to change Autocad shortcuts

(OP)
Hey ....

Im using AutoCad LT at work and AutoCad 2000 at home ....
The command hortcuts are different for both versions
e.g. TRIM = T in LT and TR in 2000
EXTEND = EX in LT and ET in 2000
etc.

Is there any way to customize these keyboard shortcuts ?? for both versions?

TQ

Billy

RE: How to change Autocad shortcuts

There is a text file in your Programs/ Autocad directory. The file name might be "acad.pgp". Here you can see the shortcuts for various commands. Now you can customize these commands per ur convenience.

Thanks,

RE: How to change Autocad shortcuts

The "acad.pgp" file is located in the "Support" directory, under the "Autocad" directory.

Normally this is where you do the "Quickie" commands. Actually in LT, that is pretty much it.

I think a better question is, why the heck do they have LT where you work (When you have full-blown at home)? Cheap skates?

Nice diagnosis of some companies, Detroit. Well named: Cheap skates.

Hey .......

Well ... at work they don't really do 3D work with autocad, its more 3D studio max .. but i do alot at home for school (the Autocad is licienced by the university) .... thats why...  

Just checked for the file ... there is no support folder in my autocad LT directory ... but found the *.pgp file in the main autocad directory ... and its labled .... aclt.pgp ...
maybe cus im using LT 95 (release 3)... yes yes yes .... its darn old ,i know but thats what they give to part time technical assitants .....
