    I use both, Most of the basic commands i use shortcuts. Ive learned lots of them over the years. Maybe we could make a list of them? I would love to learn more, its so much quicker than using the toolbars.
    (to add to yours above)

    Making a list is a bit silly, for a start the list of the short cuts is available through autocad. Also, shortcuts may differ from office to office. But most importantly you should have your own shortcuts customised, for example have r as regen and not rotate is bizarre.

    Well thats fair enough. I just thought it would be good for people who havent been using CAD long who are stilll using toolbars for everything and dont know how to customise the shortcuts. Just something to start them off using the shortcuts, hence why the ones ive posted are the default ones.

    I just have a little query, i didnt want to start a new thread just for it.

    Im currently using AutoCAD 2007, and im having a problem with Dimensions. When i have my dimensions done, and i copy/move an object with a node from the dimensions on it, the dimension copies/moves with it. its driving me nuts. It happens when i have the dimension layer turned off too.
    Anyone know how to make the dimensions non-associative to the objects?

    Change the DIMASSOC system variable to 1, then all new dimensions created will not be associative but any old ones will still be associative. To change any current dimensions back to non-associative use the DIMDISASSOCIATE command.

    if you do a quick select for all dimensions or a filter,
    then go into modify properties and change it through there,
    im not sure if there is an option in the dimension style box either to change that setting.
