Autodesk Software shortcuts lists

December 8, 2015 by Edwin Prakoso 6 Comments

I always love using keyboard shortcuts. Since the first time I use Windows, I always learn how to use shortcuts on my software. It saves a lot of time.

There are common shortcut keys like ctrl+P to print your file. It works on all Windows software. But there are also specific shortcut keys that you can only use in your CAD software.

Autodesk released lists of shortcuts for their software. If you haven’t used them, I encourage you to try them now. Of course, if you like to customize your software you might find the shortcuts are slightly different.

These are the shortcuts for Autodesk flagship products:

  1. AutoCAD shortcuts guide
  2. AutoCAD for Mac shortcuts guide
  3. Revit shortcuts guide
  4. Inventor shortcuts guide

The guide is very comprehensive. Grouped into categories so you can find what you need quickly.

There is a printable version for all the shortcuts in PDF format. The link is available in each product page.

Hi there, First of all, please excuse our bad English We saw you’re bom lisp and it looks very interesting. We are a team of surveyors that needs some help with an autocad 2013 lisp. The lisp will have to help us obtain the area for rooms in a building and write the room destination. After measurements for the whole building we need to present plans for it and separate plans for every apartment contained. We usually create a polyline for every room (red polylines in suprafete/surface layer) in order for us to retrieve the areas value, take the area… Read more »
