Key-in For Macro
« on: August 29, 2007, 11:32:20 AM »
(Hoping to be flabbergasted)

In any of the newer releases of AutoCAD, is it possible to assign key in shortcuts to macros?

It would be nice if I could add macros to my .pgp file.  I would rather use key-ins rather than buttons.

Well, sort of.

It's in the "keyboard shortcuts" area of the CUI, which cover things like SHIFT+(stuff) and CTRL+(stuff). So it's not exactly the same as the PGP file, but it still doesn't involve picking a button.

There's a quick explanation here, and more in the help files.

You can also you the number pad keys as short-cuts.
