Thank you to the AutoCAD team for making this list of shortcuts & aliases available in such an easy and thorough format. These aliases can be edited in the “Alias Editor” which appends the acad.pgp file.įor more help in running the ALIASEDIT command, refer to this previous post: I think you are asking for commands to save time in the AutoCAD drafting of the land survey. Luckily you can easily create brand new aliases and assign them to a command or you can assign an unused alias to a command.Ī couple of examples of custom aliases that I use are CC = COPY, RR = ROTATE, SS = SELECTSIMILAR. Answer (1 of 2): I am using AutoCAD for 8 years. Once you are comfortable with some of these default shortcuts you might realize that there are some default aliases that since they are assigned to an existing command. One more thing to note is that these are the default (out of the box) shortcuts and command aliases. If I could make a suggestion, skim the list of aliases or hot keys for the commands or tools that you use the most in your daily drafting routines and make a note of a few of them and try to utilize a couple one day at a time. So don’t get overwhelmed or try to memorize all of them. Note: There are many other useful examples in the linked resource.

I highly recommend learning command aliases like using XR in the command line instead of XREF or W instead of WBLOCK. Today’s tip is simply a link to an excellent AutoCAD alias and shortcut reference guide provided by Autodesk & The AutoCAD team.
