AutoCAD/short keys

Question
From where I can get Auto cad short keys for all commands ?

Answer
Davis, Autocad shortcut keys are customizable thru 'acad.pgp' normally located in your suppport directory (c:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Application Data\Autodesk\Autocad...\enu\Support\acad.pgp).

Open the pgp file thru notepad. Once open, scroll all the way to the bottom of the list (texts) & add your custom shortcuts. An example of a command syntax is typically:

LLN,    *LAYON

'LLN' is the custom assigned shortcut for the command 'LAYON'
Autocad will parse thru the pgp file from top to bottom. Which means any 'repeated or duplicated' commands, Autocad will only identify the last one it reads. Save your acad.pgp.

In order for Autocad to see the updated shortcuts. Type in the commandline 'reinit'. Check 'PGP File' & click OK on the dialog box. Test the shortcut commands you just added.
