Migrated from Windows to Mac, but struggling.

[Anonymous]

Hi , I new to using a Mac,  I have just installed Autocad 2021 but am struggling to find my way around.  

I am trying to set it up similar to my Windows environment.  I have some questions I hope someone can help with?

I would like to customize the shortcuts when I right click the mouse but cant find where to do that?

I would like to specify a range of default personal settings so when I click on a new drawing the settings are the same every time?

Any other tips or tricks would be very much appreciated?

Many thanks

Erik

Hi Erik,

>>>>I would like to customize the shortcuts when I right click the mouse but cant find where to do that?

Customizing shortcuts and right-click menus is not officially supported in current AutoCAD for Mac version.

But you can find some useful information here:

Do you mean Startup dialog?

If yes, then it is not available on Mac.

But you can create and save your custom templates and then use them for new drawings.

Can you be more specific?

AutoCAD for Mac also has many functional limitations compared to AutoCAD for Windows. You can study >>>this<<< document to understand what other features are missing in AutoCAD for Mac.
