COPY command etc
Posted by brad-ott on June 9, 2021 at 12:10 amI screwed up and reset all my Carlson setting to factory settings like a damn Fool. Another Rookie Mistake.
Now when I type CO at the command line it does not invoke the COPY command like I prefer.
I am sure there is a setting that affects this and many other similar commands.
Please help me to remember where that switch is, please?
Maybe this is it?

Drag yourself into the 21st Century and start using tool bars!
You’re Welcome!
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!Okay then how do I get that old Text Twist command, back?
It used to come up when I typed TT….I feel like Charlie Brown…Arghh.
NM found it…

I hate toolbars, they clutter up my work area. I do almost everything from the command line. My CAD window generally looks like this:
@dougie
Toolbars are so 20th century. Ribbons are 21st century.????Normally I’d point you towards the command alias editor, but I seem to remember that Carlson had their own command shortcut file that would override AutoCAD shortcuts. I can almost picture it on one of their pulldown menus (that’s like 1980s), but better wait for another Carlson person to help out.
@brad-ott Check out Settings — Quick Keys.
I hope this information helps.

T. Nelson – SAM, LLC Carlson? Isn’t he the guy that does the funny dance on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? ??? ????
T. Nelson – SAM, LLCNo. He’s the fellow whose mother owns the radio station on WKRP in Cincinnati and allows him to be the manager.
(PS—He is a Kansan in real life)
@jim-frame
Wow! You really are old school…
The reason your work area seems so cluttered; your probably still typing commands for panning and zooming.
The mouse wheel is your friend…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!I’ve been waiting all day for someone to ask that question.
@field-dog it very easily lines up text parallel with a line. Probably does other stuff too.
TWISTTXT
I make my shortcut, TW
It’s a great command for aligning text, better than just eyeing it up. I’m surprised if C3D doesn’t have something like that
Did you figure it out?
If not, this topic seems to come up every once in a while:
@dougie
Recently in my career I was the CAD manager for a company. The best cad guy I had was a very hard worker. He would drive me nuts though. Since he didn’t know C3D when he started there, I often had to help him out and show him how to do things. He would never use his mouse to zoom or pan. I know I just advocated for ribbons, but watching him constantly use 2 or 3 clicks to initiate a pan or zoom through the ribbon would make me insane after a time or two.
He also didn’t believe in having more than one drawing open at a time. If he was working on a drawing and had to edit an xref, he would close the drawing he had open, use the open command to open the xref, then close the xref when done, then reopen the original drawing. It was especially bad when he would forget the name of the xref after he would close the first drawing, then have to reopen the first drawing to find the name of the xref, then close that one again before opening the xref. I was constantly harping on him to work smarter, not harder. Mostly to no avail.
