AutoCAD Tips & Tutorials
Create a custom keyboard shortcut
Would you like to create a keyboard shortcut to your favorite command-option combination? For example, I use Zoom Extents an awful lot, but it's hidden on the Zoom flyout. I could put it on a custom toolbar, but another option is to create a keyboard shortcut. Here are the steps:
- Enter cui to open the Customize User Interface dialog box.
- In the Command List pane, click the New button.
- In the Properties pane, you can now specify your new command. Enter a name and a macro. My macro was zoom e
- In the Customizations In pane at the top, expand Partial CUI Files, then Custom, then Keyboard Shortcuts, so you can see the Shortcut Keys item.
- Find your new command in the Command List pane (it's listed under the name you gave it) and drag it to the Shortcut Keys item in the top pane.
- Click the command where it appears in the top pane. Its Properties pane now shows a Key(s) item. Click that item and then click its Ellipsis button. The Shortcut Keys dialog box opens.
- Press the shortcut key combination you want to use and you can see if it's unassigned -- or assigned to something you never use. Click OK.
- Click OK to close the Customize User Interface dialog box.
- Try out your new shortcut!
