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

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.

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?

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 .....

thanks alot guys ....(was getting tired exiting the programe when i typed ET when all i wanted was to extend the line):)

PS... i don't get the cheap skates thing ?
