After many years of doing 3D solid modeling, I still have some clients that want a 2D Isometric drawing. I'm very skilled at this but sometimes I need to change from Rectangular to Isometric Grid setting and back quickly. I have long used the GRID Settings at the bottom of my screen (ACAD 2008 Classic) to change this but I would like a keyboard shortcut to do it. Anyone know how to create one?
Thanks.

It used to be an option of the SNAP command. I'm away from my AutoCAD right now and can't check if this has changed, but check the SNAP command and see where that takes you.

Good luck and post back with results ?

Add a short entry into the Acad.Lsp file that toggles the System variable SnapStyl from 0 to 1 similar to that below:

(DEFUN C:SS ()
(if (= (getvar "snapstyl") 0 ) (setvar "snapstyl" 1) (setvar "snapstyl" 0))
(princ)
)

then type (load"acad") or restart autocad

then try your new command SS
