I used to use the "F-keys" for snapping in AutoCAD r12 - DOS
But when I went to windows that ability was cut off ... due to lack of knowledge.
Apparently, this was a popular tool/ practice ....
I got this tip ... a while ago from Lynn Allen's book "AutoCAD : Inside and Out". And I attended a seminar headed up by her. So that's how I know that bit of info ...
This can only be done in the "ACAD.MNU", .
In the "ACAD.MNU", there should be a section "***Accelerators".
I have AutoCAD 2002 and I see it at the very very end!
To edit the F keys or add a "shift" key shortcut, just type a new line like so...
["F3"]'zoom;2x
[Shift+"A"]^C^CArc
The format seems like the same format already there ....
I hope this helps out someone out there.
