This old dog (32 year CAD tech) learned a new trick today. I never new CTRL made the radius 0 in the fillet command. Thanks Brandon!

[@Cadintentions]

That's awesome @kimmiekat1511! Always happy when I can share a new one! Cheers!

[@endless.v666id]

Move, Rotate, and Scale is just crazy for me 🙌 we got 3 in just 1 command. Big Thanks

[@mohammadbataineh6147]

Every time I think I am good at AUTOCAD, this guy comes out of the blue and teaches me something. I really appreciate it. Keep it up.

[@markbankston6464]

Thanks so much Brandon, I'd agree that being able to cycle through stretch, copy, rotate, scale, etc. has saved an incredible amount of time for me as well.

[@SlimJim666]

The tip to select a node and then press enter to cycle through the different commands brought a smile to my dial. Thank you mate. Could you please enable an option to be able to save this video to a youtube playlist? : )

[@JoshuaAmmon]

Great Tips Brandon, Thanks for posting! One of my favorite shortcut commands is CopyToLayer, I deal with mutliple layers that im buidling off of for die design and it helps alot.

[@Cadintentions]

That's definitely a good one and one I use a lot too!! Thanks for watching and the great addition Cheers!

[@shhhhhh779]

Thanks budd🖤

[@benjamtaylor6179]

I draw site plans and floor plans and "mid between point", and "from", are probably what I use the most of.

[@Cadintentions]

great additions! Those ones definitely come in handy with site/floor plans a lot! Thanks for watching and sharing Cheers

stumbled upon your videos today at work. i got certified for Cad Inventor 10 years ago in high school. would it be possible for me to learn autocad all over again? looking for somewhere to start again just dont know how. i want to work remote lol

[@dbk1150]

With lines it will not work the fillet command, use polyline and it will work... thanks

[@MarcBossYT]

Cool

[@manalsan6537]

Hi there I have a question. I've made a floor plan of an apartment complex using an old plan of a house I made a while ago but I have just realised almost all lines are not at 90 degrees angle so the drawing looks messy because the lines aren't straight. Is there a command I could use to make all the lines straight instead of fixing each line as it will take me days to fix them all?

[@jeddollantes147]

Use ortho mode, just click f8

[@Cadintentions]

As mentioned below, using Ortho (F8) when drawing will make sure all lines are straight and perpendicular. Once they've been drawn though there isn't really a "quick fix" if all the lines are equally rotated/off then you could rotate them all at tghe same time and snap to a perpendicular/90 degree line but if they're all off by different amounts, then likely you'll need to use ortho and fix them all, though once you have a few fixed, typically it will go quick using snapping.

[@midvok3918]

Hmm... on my machine I have to presses the SHIFT key to make the zero-radius fillet. How come it works with CTRL for you? Also it doesn't join the lines together into a single object for me.

[@tanner8844]

I'm not sure about the SHIFT vs. CTRL thing, but if you use polylines (PLINE) instead of lines, they will join together with the fillet tool.

[@user-ph8gw2bi4y]

The second trick you stated doesn't work for me. Holding "CNTRL" down while I select the lines to perform the fillet function on works no differently for me that I had I not been holding down "CTRL". Is there some sort of setting that needs to be on for this trick to work?

[@Oatmeal4Breakfast]

Check the version

[@user-ph8gw2bi4y]

@@Oatmeal4Breakfast I'm using 2023 just like Brandon is in the video. Hence the confusion. Thanks nonetheless.

[@Abrakadabra12351]

it doesn't work for me too, however i am using 2025 version

[@Abrakadabra12351]

i think shift may work instead of ctrl

[@user-ph8gw2bi4y]

@@Abrakadabra12351 It does. Thank you.

[@SteS]

Slightly wrong there in that grip trick. The 4th press of enter or the space bar is mirror. If you hold ctrl in this mode you create a mirrored copy. The Ctrl key in Move does a copy. Rotate the same.
