AccuDraw Shortcut key-ins

Key Effect
<?> Opens the AccuDraw Shortcuts window.
<Return> Smart Lock. In Rectangular coordinates, locks X to 0 if the pointer is on the drawing plane y-axis or Y
to 0 if the pointer is on the x-axis. In Polar coordinates, locks Angle to 0°, 90°, -90°, or 180° if the
pointer is on a drawing plane axis or otherwise locks Distance to its last entered value.
<spacebar> Switches between Rectangular and Polar coordinates.
<O> Moves the drawing plane origin to the current pointer position.
<X> Toggles the lock status for the X value.
<Y> Toggles the lock status for the Y value.
<Z> Toggles the lock status for the Z value.
<D> Toggles the lock status for the Distance value.
<A> Toggles the lock status for the Angle value.
<L> Locks the current index state.
<N> Activates Nearest snap mode.
<C> Activates Center snap mode.
<I> Activates Intersect snap mode.
<K> Opens the Keypoint Snap Divisor settings box.
<R>,<Q> Used to quickly and temporarily rotate the drawing plane.
<R>,<A> Used to permanently rotate the drawing plane. Because it rotates the current ACS, this rotation will
still be active after the tool in use is exited.
<R>,<X> Rotates the drawing plane 90° about its x-axis.
<R>,<Y> Rotates the drawing plane 90° about its y-axis.
<R>,<Z> Rotates the drawing plane 90° about its z-axis.
<F> Rotates the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Front view.
<S> Rotates the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Right view.
<T> Rotates the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Top view.
<V> Rotates the drawing plane to align with the view axes.
<W>,<A> Saves the drawing plane alignment as an ACS.
<G>,<A> Retrieve a saved ACS.
<P> Opens the Data Point Key-in settings box for entering a single data point.
<M> Opens the Data Point Key-in settings box for entering multiple data points.
<G>,<K> Opens (or moves focus to) the Key-in window.
<G>,<S> Opens (or moves focus to) the AccuDraw Settings box.
<G>,<M> Opens the More AccuDraw Settings dialog box.
<G>,<T> Moves focus to the Tool Settings window.
<Q> Deactivate AccuDraw.

Key Effect
<Z> Toggles the lock status for the Z value (see “Using AccuDraw in 3dD).
<K> Opens the Keypoint Snap Divisor settings box, which is used to set the Snap Divisor for keypoint
snapping.
<R>,<Q> Used to quickly and temporarily rotate the drawing plane. The procedure is described in “The Rotate
Quick keyboard shortcut”.
<R>,<A> Used to permanently rotate the drawing plane. Because it rotates the current ACS, this rotation will
still be active after the tool in use is exited.
