Autodesk AutoCAD Shortcut Profile

The complete AutoCAD keyboard shortcut pack for Stream Deck.

83 shortcuts across 12 categories — organized, scored by importance, and ready to install on Stream Deck XL. Stop memorizing key combos. One tap, one action.

What's included:

• Modify (13) • Drawing Modes (11) • Draw (10) • File & Workflow (10) • Dimension (7) • 3D & Solids (7) • Layers & Properties (5) • Blocks & Xrefs (5) • View & Query (5) • Screen (5) • Annotation (4) • Help (1)

Features: • 56 command aliases sent as text — LINE, TRIM, FILLET, one tap each • All 11 drafting-mode function keys, from Osnap to Dynamic Input • Reaches commands that have no keyboard shortcut at all • Every binding traced to Autodesk's own published shortcut reference • A distinct icon on all 83 keys

Install: double-click any .streamDeckProfile to import. The App binding is pre-filled to AutoCAD — auto-activates on focus. If it didn't pre-fill, set it manually under Stream Deck → Preferences → Profiles → App.

Setup (required for some keys)

Windows only in v1. Autodesk publishes Windows values, and AutoCAD for Mac is a genuinely different keyboard: it uses Command where Windows uses Ctrl, and its function keys differ. Shipping a Mac profile from Windows documentation would be shipping guesses. A Mac version needs a Mac install to verify.

Aliases are typed, not pressed. Each alias key types the command into AutoCAD’s command line and presses Enter. That means the drawing editor needs focus and no command may be mid-prompt — press Esc first if a command is running. This is exactly how AutoCAD is driven by hand; the deck just does the typing.

Keep the command line visible. Ctrl+9 is on the Screen folder. If the command line is hidden, typed aliases still work but you lose the prompt feedback that tells you the command took.

First release. 83 bindings across 11 groups: Draw, Modify, Dimension, Annotation, 3D & Solids, Layers & Properties, Blocks & Xrefs, Drawing Modes, Screen, File & Workflow and View & Query.

56 of them are acad.pgp command aliases, sent as text into the command line rather than as keystrokes. That is what lets this profile reach commands AutoCAD gives no key combo to — REVOLVE, MATCHPROP, LAYERSTATE and the rest.

Every binding is traced to Autodesk's own published shortcut reference and cross-checked against an independent third-party reference. One disagreement is recorded rather than resolved by guess: F6 is Dynamic UCS per Autodesk, which a third-party page still describes as coordinate display — pre-2007 behaviour.

Windows only in this version. AutoCAD for Mac uses a different keyboard and needs its own verification pass.
