Solidworks "S" key functionality for Autocad?

[rbs4]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a 3rd party utility for Autocad that would give you the same functionality as the "S" key does in Solidworks.

Thanks

So what does the "S" key do in SW?

When you hit the S key, a box appears at the end of your cursor (no matter where the cursor is) that contains frequently used commands. It is completely customizable as to what commands are inside it. I find it better and faster than using aliases which sometimes requires you to take your right hand off the mouse to enter the alias.

You can customize your right-click menu in AutoCAD... or make your aliases only on the left side of your keyboard. I prefer the former option, though.

There's also the command auto-complete which has an option to work from frequently used commands. It can be a little slow though.

Sounds like [Shift+Right Click] in AutoCAD.

You can customize this (POP0) menu as desired, and then execute this code at startup to enable it to display with "S" (+ enter)
