tatra4444 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hello, i am using autocad 2011 now,before that i used autocad 2009. in autocad 2009 when i want to use presspul command i press ctrl+alt ,in autocad 2011 this command doesn't work (ctrl+alt).so how can i make ctrl +alt work for presspull command in autocad 2011. with thanks Quote
ReMark Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 You would have to edit the shortcut keys in your CUIx. What happens now when you press Ctrl+Alt? Quote
tatra4444 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 nothing happen,i go to cui shortcut key i drage the presspull command from command list to shortcut key list then go to the properties menu in the right of the screen access key(i click at the box with three dots) when i press ctrl+alt nothing happen !if i press let say ctrl +b its assigned,but i want ctrl+alt please try it yourself with lot of thanks Quote
nestly Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Aren't Ctrl and Alt just modifier keys? Wouldn't you have to add another key (or a click) to the sequence to make it actionable? Quote
SLW210 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I do not recall CTRL+ALT ever doing anything in any program. There has always been something on the end i.e. CTRL+ALT+DEL. Quote
tatra4444 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 till now no one answered me a usefull answer!!!! in autocad 2009 ctrl+alt is used for presspull command ,in 2010 nothing like this ,no action happen when using ctrl+alt. i want a way that make a ctrl+alt in autocad 2010 as a presspull command Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 We try. Sometimes we can't please everyone. Why not open up 2009 and look at the CUI and see how it is programmed there then duplicate it in 2010? Maybe you did something wrong. Quote

Assign that to something else and move on, you will learn it very quickly. And or assign presspull to the mouse menu, set it to PP or what ever in the pgp. Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Unfortunately I am working away from the office so I cannot test whether the key-combo of Ctrl+Alt activates the PressPull command in AutoCAD 2009. Anybody here have that option? I'd be curious to know if indeed it works as stated by the OP. Quote

Anybody here have that option? I'd be curious to know if indeed it works as stated by the OP. The documentation I have for 2010 says the PP command was changed to Ctrl+Shift+E for presspull. It doesn't say what it was changed from, either way it doesn't matter as it can't be done on 2010 and up.- Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Well it kind of matters. Maybe he's remembering something that he changed back in 2009 not something that was the default behavior. See what I'm getting at? I recall recently a 3 page discussion about some feature someone "remembered" as working in just a particular way and try as I might I could not convince the person otherwise and I had the version of the program he said he was using at the time and as he recalled "that's the work it worked"! He was pretty darn adamant about it too. Quote

He was pretty darn adamant about it too. I found a pdf file on the internet for 2009 were they are showing using presspull by pressing ctrl+alt,this is OOTB behavior for 2009. So the OP is remembering correctly. But it can't be done in 2011 so we are back to assigning other key combinations to do what they want. The OOTB key combo is now shift+ctrl+E. Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 OK then he wasn't just dreaming it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Much appreciated. Quote
