    Default Methods of adding custom labels to keyboard keys I have customized within AutoCAD

    I have the AutoCad modify command set to the number pad as
    1-9. It is hard to remember which command is set to each number.
    I am thinking about putting some labels on the keypad.
    Has anyone else worked with keyboard labels? I want something
    that is durable enough to not get replaced too often.

    Suggestions?

    Hi Robert,

    When I was training my fingers to use the 12 buttons on my tablet cursor, I drew up the buttons and hung the drawing just above my monitor (where I didn't have to look very far away from the display). It didn't take long before my fingers "knew" where they needed to go in order to execute a command without looking at the page.

    I'm doing the same thing to teach me my new N52 SpeedPad. I have a "printscr" cut down, rescaled, and taped literally above my monitor.

    I still think its easier to type M for move or MI for mirror, RT for rotate etc. Why do you have them on your numeral pad?

    I have additional hotkeys setup because the number pad is on the
    left hand side of my keyboard, me being a righty. I have an extra
    set of keys available to my left hand.
