Hey there guys, jumping on to my second blog post in which i will be sharing some of the tricks and ideas i learned from using AutoCAD Application.
First of all, let me discuss to you what is the meaning of CAD in the word "AutoCAD". It technically means any kind of computer aided drafting used in creating computer generated drawing and design which is basically first introduced as computer aided drafting and design, then later on replaced with CAD only. The word "auto" doesn't mean anything but just a reference to the company's producer, the Autodesk. That is the basic knowledge in learning new things. Study first the abbreviations to help you understand the basic thought before going any further
Coming back in sharing tricks and tips in using AutoCAD, well the very first basic step in learning autoCAD is to know how to open and close a file. It's just the same as opening and closing a microsoft file. There a keyboard shortcut for opening, i.e., ctrl + o for open a file and ctrl + x for closing a file. Those shortcuts keys are not different from basic microsoft word hot keys and the AutoCAD shortcut keys. They resemble most of the same shortcut keys except for some additional functionality from AutoCAD. Those ctrl + A-Z from microsoft word compared to AutoCAD application only differs in some functions which shown as follows:
Shortcut Keys AutoCAD Microsoft Office
Ctrl + A Select All Select All
Ctrl + B Snap On/Off Bold
Ctrl + C Copy Copy
Ctrl + D Dynamic UCS On/Off Font Dialog Box
Ctrl + E Cycles through isometric planes Center
Ctrl + F Osnap On/Off Find
Ctrl + G Grid On/Off Go To
Ctrl + H Set Variables for Pick style Group Replace
Ctrl + I Insert Coordinate Values Italic
Ctrl + J Insert Coordinate Values for 1 Fully Justify
Ctrl + K Insert Hyperlink Insert Hyperlink
Ctrl + L Ortho On/Off Left Justify
Ctrl + M Repeats the Last Action Hanging Indent
Ctrl + N Create New File Create New File
Ctrl + O Open a File Open a File

Ctrl + V Paste Paste
Ctrl + W Selection Cycling On/Off Exit a File/Document
Ctrl + X Cut Cut
Ctrl + Y Redo the Last Action Redo the Last Action
Ctrl + Z Undo the Last Action Undo the Last Action
There you have it! Having these list of comparisons gives you a wide variety of idea in trying and exploring new things.So it won't be hard on you whether you're a beginner or pro in AutoCAD. Hope you like post. Next time I make a post regarding AutoCAD, I'll share you some of the shortcut keys for express tools that I frequently used in creating plans and designs. See you next time...
