This key will make a snap grid on or off. By using this mode, cursor movement will become constrained in the horizontal or vertical direction relative to the user coordinate system. This mode is used when the user has to specify an angle or distance using two points using a pointing device. This is one of the most useful keys in AutoCAD. This command will turn ORTHO mode on or off. It allows him/her to move viewpoint relative to the 2D isometric object. By changing isometric planes, the user changes his viewpoint when working in AutoCAD’s Isometric mode. He/She can make the grid visibility off by pressing this key again. The grid system allows the user to reorient him, and after that, he can focus on his design. This function key will display grids in your AutoCAD drawing. This command is only used when working on 3-dimensional objects. Before 2007 when this command is not available while working, the 3D user has to create a new coordinate system every time he/she changes his drawing view. UCS is a user coordinate system that a user can define according to his requirement. This function key turns dynamic UCS on or off. If the snap style is set as Isometric, Ortho mode will use the appropriate axis pair from 30, 90, and 150 degrees.īy pressing this command again, we can alter between three ISO planes that are top, right and left. This command will affect the cursor movement only when the snap style is set as isometric. ISOPLANE provides the following modes when working with a 2D isometric view of 3D models: By using this shortcut key, we can create any drawing in ISOPLANE. ISOPLANE is the plane with an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal.

This command will allow us to accurately pinpoint on the particular position of a body. This key will open the O snap feature while working in 3 dimensional.

If you again press this key, the software will come out from this command. For example, a user can accurately pick up two points of the line, the center of a circle, etc. This will allow you to snap at the specific location of your object while you are picking any point. O Snap feature of this software helps to draw your drawing accurately. This command automatically activates the O snap feature of AutoCAD. This command is useful to the user who feels difficulty in seeing the command window on the bottom of the screen. This key opens a pop-up screen showing the command line on the bottom. If a user is working offline, then by pressing this key, all the functionalities of this software will be opened in PDF format. It allows the user to take help online if he/she is facing any functional issue in this software. This function key opens the AutoCAD Help window. 3D animation, modelling, simulation, game development & others 1.
