The above key combination is to cycle through all open drawings / tabs, I think "cntrl+Tab" is its equivalent in windows. 

But the general "Alt+Tab" in windows is equivalent to "cmd+Tab" in mac

You are absolutely right about the ALT + TAB and Cmd + TAB!

Thanks for correction.
When I wrote the reply, I looked only at the end of the quiestion "to switch between drawing".

and.. What about the F keys like F8 toggle ortho..F3..snap.. what is the combination of those

Hi,

It is the same as in Windows version.

But if you have MacBook (or iMac - not sure) your Function keys assigned by default to some system specific functions (volume, dashboard, etc.) so in order to use it in AutoCAD you have to press "Fn+F3" or "Fn+F8" combination. Or you have to change behavior of F-keys in System Preferences (Keyboard) of Mac OS.

Dear all,

Bumping this old thread. Is there any possibility to change the key combination?

In the spanish keyboard it takes either both hands or the mouse hand (if right handed) to cycle through the open drawings.

I'd be great to have the ability to set it to a combination for your left hand.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is impossible 😞

Have you tried to switch between opened drawings with Status Bar (only 2 mouse clicks)

Hi,

That's a good option. I think I'll be fine with it. 

Thanks!
