Custom Keyboard Shortcuts to match my Windows setup

jmcleodYNLLJ · ‎11-19-2020

Currently trying to get my personal Mac setup to match my work windows machine.

I currently have some custom keyboard shortcuts setup on my windows machine to help move around more quickly when 3D modeling. I like to use the short cuts "CTRL+NUMPAD5" to switch to top view, "CTRL+NUMPAD2" to switch to front view, "CTRL+NUMPAD6" to switch to right view, etc. and "SHIFT+1" to set 2D Wireframe, "SHIFT+2" to set shaded, etc. (see attached screenshot from my windows CUI).

I'm trying to get the same shortcuts setup on my Mac and it's proving difficult to navigate the CUI on the Mac version. Anyone have any input? Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all, Justin

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Justin,

Keyboard shortcut customisation is not available inside AutoCAD for Mac with CUI command.

But you can use Application shortcuts customisation in macOS System Preferences to add shortcuts to Menu commands:

Moreover, macOS has restrictions on the types of shortcuts - for example, you cannot create a shortcuts with SHIFT and number, such as "SHIFT+2", but you can use "SHIFT+CMD+2"
