    Keyboard for AutoCAD.

    Make an AutoCAD keyboard from an ordinary keyboard in two steps.

    Installation

    1.  Cut pictures with commands from the ReadMe file and attach them to your keyboard.
    2.  Run Acad_Revolution.exe
    Note. This app is for Windows based system and English version of AutoCAD. The default input language in Windows must be English.


    How to Use

    After the app is launched you have an additional keyboard mode where one button is one AutoCAD command. To switch between modes simply press Caps Lock button. You will notice that the letter H on the lower right corner of your screen will change to S. The letter H means Hotkey, the script is active; S means suspend, the script isn't working. When the AutoCAD window is not active all buttons work as normal, but don't forget to switch back before writing text in AutoCAD.

     

    How Does It Work

    The script is made in free program which is called Autohotkey. When you press, for example, the Q button the app sends "move" and then "enter". That is why, if you don't switch back before writing text in AutoCAD, you will type something like this
    fillet
    offset
    matchprop
    trim

     P.S.

    I'm glad to answer to any questions and make changes on request.

    acad keyboards with shortcut keys have been on the market for 10 years. I've been using mine along with hundreds of other customers for years, they are great, much fast than a mouse, see link -
