AutoCAD 2011 Shortcut Keys

Shortcut Keys
AutoCAD has dozens of predefined shortcut keys and key combinations 
to perform various operations and functions. The  [Ctrl], [Alt], and [Shift]   keys, 
together  with  keyboard  letter  keys,  provide  an  alternate  method  of  entering 
tools, displaying palettes, and toggling modes and functions. The function keys 
([F ] through [F ]) and other keys on the keyboard are also used in shortcuts.
