AutoCAD Keyboard

[CADDmanVA]

I have X-keys. Fully programmable with 1 key being a toggle between 2 levels. My 20 key pad accommodates 38 commands / macros. Easy to program & it has clear button caps so you an make your own labels. Even gives specs so you can draw a grid in ACAD & type the labels to print & cut. I've been using mine for over 7 years. I programmed it for Raster Design commands, but threw in a few for repetitive ACAD commands.

Oh yeah, X-keys products are top notch! The downside is the price tag they carry.

I agree about the price. I'm surprised they haven't gone up since I bought this one. I got a great deal on this one, but the listed price hasn't changed. This one has been a workhorse. I'd like to get one with more keys, but haven't made up my mind to do that.

I also want the train simulator console.

anybody using something like this?

What would you do if a coworker rearranged your keyboard?

I sent a quick email today to a keyboard manufacturer requesting an AutoCAD specific board.

The idea received a positive reply, but the company is concerned if there is enough of a market for such an item. Would Autodesk be interested in embracing such a device? (i.e. link to on website, images for promotions, the basic etc.)

So... My question to you.


Would you purchase an Autocad Keyboard?

This sounds like a great idea to me, and I would consider purchase. But is this an expantion on the standard keyboard? Or is it an entirely new keyboard? My job requires me to do more than just AutoCAD commands when using my computer...

This kind of thing really just sounds like a gimmick. Just ley me load my .pgp file and I am good to go over whatever toy you can put up.

PGP files do not cover every situation.

Autocad Keyboard.........................?

Can we get one with more keys on the left side. I'm running out of keys for my command alias definitions.

a - used
aa- used
aaa-used
aaaa- to long to type out
s - used
ss - used
sss - used


More keys on the left or I'll have to rotate my keyboard 90%%d. That didn't work, forgot my base point.

Still looking for the "any" key so I can continue

Greetings!

You could make an AutoCAD keyboard from an ordinary keyboard using this simple tutorial. The whole process will take about 15 minutes!
