    Keyboard short cuts? L space bar is the line command. Does everyone forget the keyboard short cuts?

      it's hard to remember 15 shortcuts

      that way, you're using your typing muscle memory, rather than learning streamdeck (maybe someone can be as proficient with the deck).
      When I learned ACAD, the firm I was at had mapped all the primary commands to keys on the left hand side of the keyboard so you never even had to light your left hand. Left hand keys, right hand mouse, and once you got it (took maybe a week) you could FLY!

    for multiple commands I prefer making a command inside Autocad, add a keyboard shortkey to it and hen use the supermacro addon in streamdeck to trigger the shortkey.

    Nice, im planning on using a stream deck for my cad usage, what mouse do you use ? I start to feel pain in my arms from long cad work

      I use MX master, but stream deck really helps when drafting in Autocad and i using it also for other stuff

      Stream deck it's pretty expensive, but if you are drawing a lot in cad, then it's a life saver!

      @@ingenricorovere You're welcome.
      There is no special plugin for autocad. You install the software and after you can make any macro you want. All the commands you see in video i made, very very easy.
      If you will have problems making the macros let me know and I will make a short video to show you.
