nikson Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 What is the fastest way to use undo command in autocad 2007 exept ctrl- z or type name of command we want to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Type the letter "U" at the keyboard then press the Enter key. I think this is the least of your worries when it comes to using AutoCAD. Concentrate on good drafting practices and recognize what command is best to use in any given situation and your need to utilize the UNDO command should be greatly diminished. Work smarter not harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikson Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Need the fastest metod to rotate,scale,move etc.(often) Could you recommend some usefull exercises for 2D. Everything can find on the internet but need some practice to fast drafting with samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Do you know how to use the commands effectively? Without that knowledge speed is irrelevant. Are you making use of command aliases? Are you making use of the right-click fly-out menus? The key to being faster and more efficient is practice, practice and then practice some more. Tasks that are largely repetitive or those that must be performed on large groups of similar objects can be handled via custom lisp routines. What type of work do you do or are your a student?

nikson Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Working with some simple 2D architectural plans, making fire protection and emergency escape plans with lot of simbols. Needed fast work to arrange and manipulate with all of plans. The most of uses commands are basic like m,co,ro,sc,tr...etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm not sure you can speed things up, beyond using/inserting symbols, given the nature of your work. Each plan your work on will be different based on the shape of the building and its layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything can find on the internet but need some practice to fast drafting with samples. Since those are basic commands there isn't much to making them faster. At least for now have the command line showing and watch the command line for the prompts so you learn what are the default prompts and what options are there.

Squirltech Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Speed will come with familiarity to the software. There are ways (already mentioned) to make the software more "yours" but you really need to understand the what/why you're doing what you're doing before you go down the road of customization. My $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikson Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I agree with all of you dear people. Work,work and always work. Fast and smart draw will come itself. Could somebody recommend some good practice tuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Are you familiar with the MOCORO command, specifically for Move, Copy & Rotate type situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikson Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I tried it. Nice command like as all express tools. My knowledge is little bit bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It is always a good idea to check out any new express tools, as they tend to be cutting edge, and ultimately will save you plenty of time, a year or two before Autodesk decides they have proved their merit, and should be incorporated into the "less than express tools" version. The time and effort saved will be your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm suprised no one has mentioned the humble space bar, to be honest I'm not 100% sure when this feature was added, it's certainly here in 2013LT. Pick an object/objects, then clicking one of the grips will automatically put autocad into stretch mode (that grip will be stretched), but just hitting the space bar will now change the behaviour so that your selection can be moved - or hitting space bar twice goes to rotate,,,,, using the space bar cycles through stretch, move, rotate, scale, and mirror. The copy option is missing but holding down the Ctrl key whilst in one of these modes will switch to multiple, allowing you to make copies, it probably does other things as well, it's well worth exploring.

steven-g Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dadgad, yeah it's a great time saver if you spend a lot of time using those commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikson Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hm, repeating hitting space could be imprecisely so for me is better to type first letter of commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Using the space bar allows the user to "cycle" through the various choices available. That does not make it imprecise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yes, but, you can also right-click after selecting the grip and you can customize those pretty easy with CUI. I think the spacebar selection has been around a few releases, I have it in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that tip. I'm pretty fast with commands as I constantly work in 2D, but I had no idea about the spacebar trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
