Question
Hi Paul,

I am trying to see if Auto Cad can open Turbo Cad documents.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Answer
Jennifer,

There may be some similar commands but, I kind of doubt it.  For instance, if you type z then enter, you go to the zoom command, then type W and enter for the window, then you can select the window and it will zoom in.  

There ARE a lot of people that use short cut keys, sometimes called quickkeys or any other number of names where they load up commands like ZW with an enter to do the zoom window command and there are a few such commands in a file called acad.pgp in your support directory if you want to check that out.  

Hope that helps,

Paul
