AutoCAD - How do I change key commands for zoom and pan?

rbennettMAT6D — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 13:36:54 GMT

I am new to AutoCAD, but I am proficient in all of Adobe's programs (Photoshop/Illustrator/etc.). I want to change the zoom and pan controls in AutoCAD to mimic Photoshops, and I don't see any overlapping issues that it would cause. I feel this would majorly increase my productivity. Does anyone know how I can create these macros or keyboard shortcuts?

To zoom in: ALT+MouseWheelUp

To zoom out: ALT+MouseWheelDown

To pan up: MouseWheelUp

To pan down: MouseWheelDown

To pan left: CTRL+MouseWheelUp

To pan right CTRL+MouseWheelDown

Thanks!

Ryan

Why? You can do all those without having to touch the keyboard.

Mouse wheel up = Zoom in

down = Zoom out

Click the mouse wheel and you can pan to your hearts content.

@rbennettMAT6D The command names you are wanting to use are PAN and ZOOM.

Start CUI command, look for the PAN commands that do up/down/left/right, then add them to your keyboard shortcuts list that are allowed in this AutoCAD program

Same for ZOOM
