Please see the attached video describing some shortcuts in AutoCAD. The problem with the hotkey is that they are a window-focus-specific action.CTRL+A = Selecting all Entities in the drawing even under Layer OFF mode ( But not under Freeze mode ) CTRL+S = Quick save the file.ĬTRL+D = Coordinate Display (CORDS) ON/OFF (F6 is the alternate Button)ĬTRL+F = OSNAP ON/OFF (F3 is the alternate Button)ĬTRL+G = GRID ON/OFF (F7 is the alternate Button)ĬTRL+L = ORTHO ON/OFF (F8 is the alternate Button)ĬTRL + TAB = Switching between drawings openedĬTRL+5 = INFOPALETTE (ASSIST) window Open/CloseĬTRL+0 = Clean Screen (Hiding All Tool bars) – good for Presentations For more keyboard shortcuts check out this handy guide provided by Autodesk.
Theoretically speaking, it is possible to do serial actions with one push of a button. Stream deck also provides Multi-Action and Multi-Action Switch macros, where we can put several hotkeys, hotkey switches, and text. I'm just looking for a program to do the same for AC, which will reliably know when you are typing to activate a command vs. The advanced settings let you: Determine what sort of key press will trigger the macro (e.g. You can further customize your recorded macros by using the advanced settings and start settings.
It didn't take any time to learn these commands or to get them into muscle-memory. You can use our iCUE software to record macros for your K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard and assign the macro to a key. I have set CB, CW, CF for "cabinet-base", "cabinet-wall", and "cabinet-full height", respectively, in Chief. I can do this currently in Chief Architect and used to be able to do it for Generic CADD. It would be far easier just to type DC for "drag a copy" or ZI for "zoom in". (I don't do it that way since I just start dragging and press the Ctrl button on my mouse), but the point is that many commands (at least until reprogrammed) require an awkward and non-intuitive key-press combination. Currently, the default shortcut for Drag a Copy is Ctrl + Shift + D. I currently have a 5-button mouse which has two of the keys mapped to CTRL and ALT.
AC currently allows one key, plus up to two modifier keys (ctrl/alt/shift) to be added. I have a logitech gaming keyboard at home which has I think 18 programmable buttons with 3 profiles, giving you 54 custom macro keys that you can basically add any string of application commands to, including setting up pauses in between to sometimes make things work.Īn acronym is a good way to describe what I'm looking for in a keyboard macro program. You are mentioning macros though, which makes me think you may want more than one application command done by a single button push. So far I've had zero problems just migrating my custom Keyboard Shortcuts from version to version. You can have several of these, so I would first save out your current one, before tinkering with it.īasically any AC application command can be given a shortcut there. Given your example of changing the default CTRL + SHIFT + O for open object, this is something that can be done in your work environment with a Keyboard Shortcuts Scheme. Below my original response, it may give insight still. I'm not aware of solutions for that, though they may exist. You want to push multiple keys to perform and action, sort of like typing an acronym. No need for Auto KeysĮdit: I read your post wrong (language barrier?). video for this device on YouTube.ĮDIT: Streamdeck also supports (addin) mouse moves & clicks together with text input and hotkeys. A visual indication is a great help since one can easily duplicate and display the same tool icons that Archicad uses in its program.īTW- if your interested, there are a number of inst.
In effect, one then has the same memory problem. I found that Chief Architect's sequential pattern to be too restrictive since the sequence must be unique which does not allow one to organize operations/tools by a pattern. I have been using a Streamdeck with Archicad for about two years now and found it to be a great time saver.- very reliable Keys can contain folders for other keys or multiple StreamDecks can be connected in parallel which allows for a infinite number of usable keys which can then be organized and segregated by category.
The device offers 32 keys programmable to hot keys or any text sequence and each key can display a icon or text or both, which makes it easy and fast to use. You may want to check out the StreamDeck push button block. FYI- Not a answer to your sequential problem BUT.
