AutoCAD Shortcut Keys
AutoCAD has dozens of predefined shortcut keys and key combinations
to perform various operations and functions. The [Ctrl], [Alt], and [Shift] keys,
together with keyboard letter keys, provide an alternate method of entering
tools, displaying palettes, and toggling modes and functions. The function keys
([F?] through [F??]) and other keys on the keyboard are also used in shortcuts.
