    Default keyboard shortcut

    hey guys i created a keyboard shortcut for thr close command as ctrl+w

    however i would liek to take this one step up by firts getting it to zoom extenst and then closing drawing

    so if i hit ctrl+w , it will first zoom extents then close drawing is there a way to do this

    i tried in CUI adding two commands together under keyborad shortcuts and editing the macro under teh command drop down , but I thnk i am missing a varriable to make it work right

    so i would like to know how do i combine two commands in one keyboard shortcut

    like; CTRL+W = zoom extents then closes drawing
    (that is what i want it do, currently Ctrl+W just closes drawing)

    thank you

    that is Awesome! What if you want to put it back to the default? When you create a shortcut key will it permanently change the key?

    I normally have 20 or more drwgs open and when I am ready to go I type in CLOSEALL

    Then just hit the Y button.................closes all and saves,...........I Love that command!
