Setting up shortcut/hotkey/override to drawing commands

[Anonymous]

So I was a AutoCAD 2004 wiz...

But have been out of the business for 3 years.

But now I have just obtained AutoCAD 2012 LT and I'm looking to configure all my hotkeys/shortcuts/overrides.etc

I do not seem to be able to set any shortcuts for drawing commands...?

I do not want to edit the Alias to change the alias but I want a literal shortcut....

Previously, I could just hit CTRL+D on my AutoCAD 2004 and it would immediately prompt for the circle center point (was shortcut for Circle, Center, Rad).

I don't want to change the Alias to "D" which will require me to hit "D" then "Enter" to start the command...  I want to set the direct shortcut.

However the CUI will not let me assign shortcut keys to drawing commands... 

I type CUI, then select "Keyboard shortcuts" then I locate the circle command and... there is no option to change the access key like the tutorials show.

(NOTE: I can change the key on other functions like copy/paste but not the useful things I want...)

Can you please help me setup my hotkeys/shortcuts for DRAWING COMMANDS ?

Start CUI command

Click on KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS, expand SHOTCUT KEYS

Find your circle/center/diameter command in the ALL COMMANDS section

Drag and drop it into the SHORTCUTS KEYS section

Select it so the lower left side of CUI shows the command details.

Click on the button in the KEY(s) section

A small pop-up appears: click inside the box then press CTRL+D

CTRL+D should just appear.

OK then APPLY then OK out of CUI command.

Test it.
