question_mark3Have you, sometimes experienced forgetting the AutoCAD commands that you learned? worst is, forgetting it right from the middle of doing your work?. I do experienced it many times. Even now that I have been using AutoCAD for almost 13 years, I still forget some commands, especially those command that I seldom use.

I remember when I was still relatively new on using AutoCAD in my work, still fresh the AutoCAD learning centre. While working on my work using AutoCAD Rel.13 (Still the latest version at the time) I froze from my seat, because I forgot what I will key-in on the keyboard. Good thing, that time there was a colleague who seat just right next beside me, who helps me.

So from that experienced, I realised that maybe I should have a ledger or a list of AutoCAD commands that are readily available for me to use, should the need arise.

Ok, enough of that. Here are some methods that I think it might help you on not to forget your AutoCAD commands. Some of these methods really works on me.

  • Make a note of all commands in a notepad / notebooks
  • Make a note on Post-It and paste it in front of your PC
  • Make a note on a piece of paper and tape it on your desk.
  • Or make a note of the AutoCAd commands on notepad program then save it, but make sure you’ll to save it in your desktop so that it’s easy for you to see.
  •  And another thing is, If you are using windows vista you might find the notes gadget on windows sidebar. You can see it by clicking on start, then program, then accessories.
  • And last but not the least, Make a blog like these one.
