AUTOCAD DISABLE F1 KEY TIP

Help reassigning that pesky F1 key

I know there are many people who don’t want F1 to be help in AutoCAD. Courtesy of Lynn Allen, here is how to reassign your F1 key to be cancel, so it will act the same way as your escape key.

First execute your CUI command. In the upper left panel, scroll through and find keyboard shortcuts. Click on the plus sign to expand it. You should see shortcut keys and temporary override keys.

Next, in the lower left, you should see the command list. Find the cancel command. You can hit C and that will pop you to the start of the “c” commands, you should be able to find it easily from there.

Once you’ve found it, grab it and drag it up to the shortcut keys under the keyboard shortcuts. It doesn’t matter where, as long as it is in the shortcut keys section. Click on the cancel under the shortcut keys to select it

Now, if you look over on the bottom right, you should see the properties for the cancel command. Click on the key(s) line to select it, then click on the ellipsis (you know, the three dots). In the box where it says Press the New Shortcut Key press F1. Click OK, and then again to exit to the CUI dialog, and your F1 key should now work just like your escape key!

SCALE… coming soon…

beta-scissortainer prototype model

We at EPOCHCORE are busy busy working on a prototype of our SCALE project right now and are fully developing drawings and ideas to get this project up and running and out from computer world into physical world. We are beginning with a base budget of 50K and look to keep it more or less in that range (less preferably). The project features a simpler construction approach so as to generate a good buzz and get companies and investors on board, we would love to get this thing built and have some car manufactures generate interest in some mass produced car stamped and insulated skins… with FEMA being interested in seeing a prototype and other companies and fabricators and investors generating interest in this project, we can’t help but be excited and drawn to get this thing up and running!

Tired of NOT having photoshop at every computer you go to?

ottocad — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:32:02 +0000

ever get irritated by going over to someones house, or entering an internet cafe and finding that their computers just don’t have photoshop? and you sit there wishing “huh… if only i had photoshop” or you somehow do have photoshop on you but don’t want to spend 20 minutes installing it…

well. here is a potential answer: there is a program called paint.net that is a super light installation and allows you do to all the basic photoeditting you wanted, including tools such as levels, brushes, layers, transparencies, etc.

best of all, its under 2mb! carry that on a jump drive, or if your old school enough, break it up into 2 floppy disks.

good luck and happy photo editing.
