Also, the commands are organised from left to right in order of when they would normally be used when constructing a drawing: Draw things, Modify them, Dim them up then Anything else.Īgain to assist with remembering commands, I’ve tried to assign a second letter that corresponds well to the command itself. Notice that the first letter of each command resides on one of the keys your fingers should naturally rest upon when touch typing. It does come at a cost though, because you have to remember all the keybinds! To combat this, it helps to have some logic behind how they’re laid out – for instance I have my keybinds laid out as follows:Ĭommands beginning with A draw things, commands beginning with S modify things, commands beginning with D have to do with dimensioning/annotating, and commands beginning with F are miscellaneous.

More significantly, the user can interact with the PC without taking their eyes off the screen to type (or locate their right hand correctly to type), and can zoom/pan & analyse and think about the drawing WHILST entering commands. The user benefits from more screen space if they choose to remove toolbars they no longer need. This is arguably faster than clicking a toolbar icon, but this is not the only benefit. I can now use my pointing device with one hand, and invoke up to 240 commands with the other. I have set up a range of one and two letter command aliases that can be entered solely with the left hand using various combinations of the keys normally associated with touch typing with the left hand. The rationale behind this exercise is to make commonly used commands more at the fingertips of the user, and thus improve productivity. Thought I’d share something that I did a while back which turned out to be a really good move, though it may not be for everyone.
