Hi Mike and the rest of you.

Does anyone know why the CTRL + R doesn´t work anymore. I use it to quickly switch between multiple viewports. It doesn´t show in the CUI Keyboard Shortcuts either.

This is only in 2007 version.

This is a great list, thanks for taking the time to post.

A few of these control key combinations are straight from
microsoft windows. They will work with most programs.
Cut, Copy, Paste, Open, Save, Saveas will work everywhere.

Within AutoCAD 2007 - CTRL + R by default is present in the Acad.cui and is found under...

Keyboard Shortcuts -> Shortcut Keys -> CTRL + R

Have a good one, Mike

Does anyone know to add/change my freeze and thaw quick command from FR & TH to CTRL + Up Arrow (for freeze) and CTRL + Down Arrow (for thaw)? I used to have this on our older version of AutoCAD but lost it when we converted to 2007.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.You can make that change through the CUI. On the left side is a section for Accelerator Keys, look in there. You may have to do a little macro scripting to fine tune it, but it can be done. I've done that with several commands. Let us know if you need help.

Yes, I will need help. Do I create from scratch or an existing file? Do I need to set up the 'enterprise' file?

When you use CTRL + 0 for cleanscreen is there a quick way to turn it off besides

_CleanScreenOFF?

CTRL+0 is actually a toggle, just hit again to switch back.
