Hello,
start this series of posts about AutoCAD LT unpretentious and willing to share with you what I learned about this program.
You may wonder why this yet another blog emblazoned on both AutoCAD and the answer 'simple: because the network only explanations are often based on the use of controls and lack of all those tricks and those tricks that make the realization of a design much faster.
After all this is to adapt the way you work the endless possibilities that the software makes available to us. For this reason, if you are a beginner and do not know what a polyline, a layer or dynamic blocks, never mind these posts and start with something simpler:
professionearchitetto.it
And I draw inspiration from the above site to start with the graphics primitives.
As I said, in general the rule applies "unless more time-saving operations do ="
What will happen to many, I started using AutoCAD versions still pushing and pushing you to work with icons to invoke commands over time I realized that this thing takes a long time since you have to continually move the cursor from the work area to the command bar and vice versa, then it happens very often have to specify the keyboard however the parameters for the command that we using, you might as well at that point richamare command directly from the keyboard and work completely from the command line.
Well, the transition from mode 'icons to the command line and' an effort that is repaid over time and especially with so much exercise. The way I see it, AutoCAD is used with "two hands" on a keyboard and mouse on the other.
brings us to the first point to save time, the famous ALIAS command.
When the first few times I tried to change my style of work, the graphic method to the command line, I tried to use the command name in full, for example, if you draw a line or a polyline, the command in full and '"line" or "POLYLINE" ... well, the time you typed all those words I would first try to andarmi the cursor to the icon and so on.
Where, then, can gain time? Going to customize the command table ALIAS
Aliases are defined in the file in the folder SUPPORT acadlt.pgp and recall the menu Tools -> Customize -> Edit Program Parameters (acadlt.pgp)
My advice is' to select alias command:
- are as short as possible, a maximum
two letters - the letters are representative of the command choices (easy to remember)
- when using two letters should be close on the keyboard so you can type without loss
time
Here's my personal approach with the main controls on the alias:
CA = C = CLEAR COPY MIRROR
SE = SR = F = OFFSET
SERIES MOVES
R = S = SS = SCALE WHEEL
STI IRON
TA = = = EXTEND SIZE
ES
BREAK SZ = ( applies both to break at a point to remove a portion of the line)
CM = U = JOIN THE TOP CONNECTOR
RA = E = L = LINE EXPLODE
_XLINE
PL = X = = POLYGON POLYLINE
POL
RT RECTANGLE CIRCLE
= CE = =
AR ARCO
RV _REVCLOUD
SPL = = = SPLINE
EL ELLISSE
PO = B = BLOCK
POINT = RE-REG HATCH
TB REGION = = = TABLE
MM MTEXT
These are some basic commands that you find in the icon bar and I think it goes without saying that I own only the commands that I use most frequently.
After the initial effort of having to memorize the position of the keys to the rapid execution of the design it should really do a lot.
