Working for a former employer their AutoCAD was set up so that I could change views & UCS quickly with the number pad i.e. 2(front) 4 (left) 5 (Top)... etc. and doubling the number would change the view and the UCS. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to accomplish this? I don't see anyway to create shortcut keys or alias to accomplish this. Does this require programming knowledge? It was very useful and I grew very accustomed to using these shortcuts.

Look into the CUI (custom user interface). There is a section for keyboard shortcuts where you can assign commands to keystrokes

Just basic customization skills needed to be able to write such LISP based macros (using LISP because that way you can assign a name to it). Here is one example.
(defun c:2 () (command "_.view" "_front") (princ))
Although not sure how your 22 command should work. Would you copy-paste the command-line listing to see how would you perform the desired behavior manually?

Awesome! Thanks, it automatically changes the UCS doing this but I'm happy I can easily change views now and I'll keep playing with it.
