Secret AutoCad Commands Every Beginner Must Know

[@roginoapacible1]

The overkill command and oops command is the best hack i discovered from you... legendary ultimate time saver... keep it up kuya!!

[@LlyanAustria]

I'm glad i could help!!:)

[@parthepanr2714]

Really it helped me

[@lesteralmario3575]

Mine is overkill and scroll wheel click hahaha

[@czarinaiguico6551]

What's the difference between J (join) command and overkill?

[@roginoapacible1]

@@czarinaiguico6551 it is a faster way of cleaning up duplicate and overlapping lines.. most of the time if working fast you dont care if lines are overlapping or duplicating and in the end of the day you gonna go back and clean it up.. but with overkill i just go select and area i want to clean up and overkill bam bam..

[@titoJClips]

00:27 1. tr + double space = unli trim / extend 02:39 2. ctrl shift c = special copy 04:57 3. select tool 07:17 4. lasso select tool 08:49 5. "saveall" Save all / "closeall" close all command 09:48 6. overkill command 11:27 7. oops command 13:30 8. scrool wheel click - instant pan command (hold and drag) / zoom to extents (double click) Late, but you're welcome. XD

Thank you

♥️

[@DerTodesbote1]

thx man

[@para-cad_llc]

Great balance of humor and education. Thank you! I use the -PAN command in a viewport all the time. In MODEL space I will have objects a set distance apart (foundation, floor plan, roof, etc) and then in PAPERSPACE in a viewport, I can use -PAN to move the model the same set distance so that all the objects appear in the same location from sheet to sheet and the scale remains the same. (Lock those viewports, people)

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for these additional commands pal!! They help a lot!:)

[@darwintan6756]

May I add some? 😊 Tlen: gives total length of lines (i usually use this in estimating) Ctrl Shift V: paste objects as a bloc Layiso: isolate a layer to avoid selecting unwanted objects ma: to copy or apply properties of an object to another object

[@ringsingsheik9014]

Huwag mo na siyang bigyan ng idea. Di naman marunong yan.

[@levelrod]

Thank you! I’ve used autocad for 20 years and am ashamed to admit that I never knew I could extend while in the trim command by double space bar, nor did I know about tips 6 and 7! Thanks for not taking for granted that “everyone” knows this. I sure didn’t and have spent many years in offices full of engineers with all of us sharing tips with each other and no one ever mentioned “oops” nor “overkill”. Oh the hours I could’ve saved! Especially the overkill command!!! Thank you and looking forward to more! God bless!

[@LlyanAustria]

I'm glad i could share these things pal!!:) Thank you for the encouragement!

[@ho7026]

need to be careful with overkill though, it can sometimes give you anomalies when polyline arcs are present , say circles made of 2 polyline arcs (i know, retarded but i genuinely received drawings like this multiple times) will actually become semicircles, some poly-arcs will change shape etc ...extremely useful but need to remain vigilant.

[@Skybagel1]

came here for extra knowledge on AutoCad. Subscribed cause i love his personality and jokes. great job bro!

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for the support pal!!:)

[@JinzExpatLife]

for the copy commands. add the control+shift+C 0,0,0. / control+V 0,0,0. this is very useful for transferring your layouts into another model space without altering your origin and position.

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for the additional tips pal!!:) they help a lot!

[@i.gkriesha2365]

Grabe laking tulong nito.. Sanaall Love LOTS. 🥰

[@ringsingsheik9014]

huwag nyo turuan yan. Di ba architect daw sya. Dapat alam nya yan. Bobo nya naman

[@jtnexus]

I'm learning AutoCAD as part of my course, so I thought I would know most if not all of these. Never knew about the overkill or oops command, so you learn something new everyday! Thanks Llyan, great vid!

[@Taima47]

the amount of times I have pranked myself into using the circle command instead of the copy command.... especially after selecting different things... you are a godsend bless you

[@LlyanAustria]

Yeah those commands are super confusing haha!:)

[@TaenyKim23]

Tbh I'm not an architecture student or anything who's related to that field. But of all the Filipino KZbinrs, your contents are the only videos that I actually finish 'till the end (literally) hahaha. It's very informative and super straight forward. You do not exaggerate on screen. Your voice is moderated and not pesky which makes everything feel comfortable and chill. I also like how every content that you produce has substance. You always make sure to introduce topics that people would be genuinely curious about and where people could actually learn and apply it to their lives. hahahaha Ahh. I'd also like to acknowledge the smooth editing in this video 😂. wala lang share ko lang, more power to you!!

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for the awesome compliments pal!!:) It encourages me to make more videos!! I'm glad you appreciate my work, it means a lot!:)

[@Campingguru2129]

I just scrolled through all of the comments, thanks for the helpful video and for everyone who posted new commands to add.

[@baconsledge]

Great sense of humor and good tips, Llyan!!

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for the compliments pal!:)

[@annmetiam8333]

Hi, it's my 2nd day mg-aral ng AutoCad, and im glad na nakita ko itong post mo. I thought ung overkill and oops is for title lang, but it works. Now, im excited to see all your vids. Hoping to learn more from you.

[@acenatanaelespinosa8951]

Punch line and Comedy skit, Always the best! Blessings Ark!

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you!!:)

[@w.b.t.127]

Seen a lot of videos on autocad. You are by far the best I've seen and enjoyable. Keep it up. Thanks.

[@Ayushporwal007]

Select multiple line and press J + enter to convert the whole in polyline To join line perpendicular to each other use fillet command or press F + enter and than R + enter then set radius to 0... Boom! The lines will be joined at right angle without the need of any stretch or trim needed

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for sharing these shortcuts pal!!:) It's very helpful!

[@ho7026]

you can bypass setting the radius. holding shift while filleting (or chamfering) will set the radius/ch distance to 0 and create a corner.

[@themonyodeville1486]

trim and extend commands are interchangeable in function with the SHIFT button. thanks for the vid... this refreshed me with some of the commands and I learned the "overkill" command 😁

[@LlyanAustria]

Glad you learned something pal!:)

[@jasonmehringer4988]

All good tips/tricks. Try align for scaling objects; ma match property; array command for repeated objects like stairs, hand rails or joists; divide; offset for wall thickness; right click "select similar"; poly edit multiple - select group of lines and convert to poly line then join them all; wipeout to make an invisible box to hide cut objects; and layer manager so you can stack your drawings and quickly change views to the layers you want on or off; the ultimate "laydel" will allow you to delete those impossible to get rid of layers be careful all objects on deleted layers will be erased; layoff to repeat selecting objects to turn off their layer; for polyline hover over node to add vertacy or remove vertacy, or convert line to arch. Play with those for a while. Then start to learn dynamic blocks. Please don't ever use line command, use poly line. Selecting will much easier

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for these awesome commands!! They help a ton!:)

[@greatpharoh0303]

Llyan.....you made AutoCAd fun and practical! Your gonna love this one........shift and right click >>>> takes you to snaps ; ), but don't forget to select what you want to draw first, line rec, circle, etc.

[@LlyanAustria]

That command was awesome pal!!:)

[@Fc9ers]

2:05. turn on edgemode. type "edgemode" command. type "1" this commands allows you to extend/trim to the nearest or chosen perpendicular line, even if its not right across like its shown in your screen. in your case the line would extend to the perpendicular line on the top left.

[@LlyanAustria]

Wow great command pal!!:) Thank you!

[@ianrichards6352]

Omg the oops command... How did i not know about that. Amazing. Also overkill is super helpful

[@micahg196]

You can extend to a line that isn't there by changing trimmode and edgemode to 1. Also when copying you can press ctrl+shift+v and it will paste as a block. When it comes to the selection boxes, if you press shift you can deselect whatever you want. Save all and close all is dangerous if you are not paying attention. The command "oops" only brings back the last thing you deleted. It will not do more than that. Two other commands that people should know are "pspace" and "mspace" these commands are very useful when working with layouts with precise scales. Another command that is very useful for making layouts is "vpsync" and "chspace". Another great tip is right mouse button press and hold. If you want to deselect everything without hitting escape you can just hold right mouse button and they will deselect. In addition, if you have something selected you can can hold the right mouse button and drag somewhere for a quick copy, move, rotate.

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for these additional commands pal!!:)

[@spiralingspiral72]

the OOPS command is an ancient piece of archaeology from the 90s civilization of autocad users. basically it was there before the Undo Ctrl+Z command

[@micahg196]

@@spiralingspiral72 yes but oops saves so much time and I use it all the time. It's better than ctrl+z

[@INIRE95]

Love the OVERKILL and OOPS command!! Thanks Llyan ✌

[@LlyanAustria]

You're welcome!!:)

[@alexnelson8]

Holy Cow! OVERKILL and OOPS are incredible life savers. Thank You!

[@LlyanAustria]

Happy i could help!!!:)

[@ixicnika]

I have that same mouse for AutoCAD; escape, delete and enter are my favorite quick commands. Thanks for the heads on overkill and oops!

[@LlyanAustria]

You're welcome pal!! It's my favorite mouse so far!:)

[@PrathamPincha]

can you pls share the brand and model numner of the mouse. thanks.

[@ElectricChaplain]

5:35 The green selection tool is called a Crossing selection (as in, it selects what it crosses), and the blue selection tool is the Window selection (as in, it has to be in the window to be selected). And you're not a selection master until you know about ssget, entsel and nentsel :)

[@LlyanAustria]

Ohh what are these ancient super secret commands you are telling me haha!!:)

[@johnjasson4470]

Excellent video. I am self taught and this was a huge leap forward. Thanks.

[@keishawashington4747]

love it all as a beginner!! I made notes and will use all of them. Thank you!

[@fahe_ph]

Thanks Llyan. I loved "Oops command". That's amazing when i think about the time that i lost in certain projects ^^ That will be good if you do a part 2 of this video. Peace !!!

[@LlyanAustria]

You're welcome pal!!:)

[@gateCodeKC]

another pro tip: asign alias shortcuts. makes your life so much better and faster like I have 95% of all the commands that I usually use on the left most part of the keyboard. e.g. copy = 1, move = 2, layer on = 1+2, mirror = 2+1, etc. arch autocad draftsman for 12 years

[@annawang5575]

thank you so much, for a beginner like me, it's so helpful, good job!

[@Jasonthehammer]

I started using “extrim” to trim all lines crossing a cut plane And “Lineworkshrinkwrap” to create polylines around several object that are touching each other

[@LlyanAustria]

Awesome additional commands pal!:) Thank you!

[@cloudezachary2027]

Thank you Lods, seen this before and now rewatching it to help me with my C.A.D classes..

[@ijustfelldown]

Bruh I've been using AutoCAD for 3 years and doing actual engineering drawings for clients. I only knew the trim and scroll-pan commands out of all these. Really makes me sad thinking about all the important time I lost without knowing these shortcuts that no class has ever taught. Thanks a lot!

[@Charlesssssss]

sorry, but doesn't engineering has autocad for their course also?

[@ijustfelldown]

@@Charlesssssss It does but the syllabus also depends on the college. Mine didn't even have any computer related assignments - ever. We did all our drawings on papers and it's pretty obsolete these days. CAD was just introduced in a single 5 hour session. So me and my classmates had to learn it ourself.

[@jacintamaenares9155]

Thanks! I was watching ur videos even though I'm not yet starting Architecture school

[@Rk-ve7hb]

I didn't know about overkill, oops and the double click scroll to zoom out the entire drawing. Thanks for this knowledge💛

[@sarahcantshake6143]

No kidding, overkill and oops have saved my life on so many occasions. I'm glad you're actually showing these tips because you have no idea how much I had to peruse the internet two years back to find out that overkill even existed, because my project files started getting so heavy due to the unnecessary overlapping lines from all the exploded blocks I'd used. And pffft honestly autocad hacks actually can make you low-key popular in archi school no kidding people actually ask me stuff because I've helped rescue urban design projects for them

[@sarahcantshake6143]

Also a very happy new year to you mate! I hope this year's great for you and your channel grows to the levels it deserves!

[@landewell6862]

sarahcantshake Do you know any other hacks like overkill? I went wild by knowing this overkill command in this video. It would have made my previous plates easier.

[@sarahcantshake6143]

​@@landewell6862 the purge command is really helpful to get rid of layers that youre not using. regen command to regenerate curved surfaces that have somehow turned choppy and segmented. spline to make random irregular curves and organic shapes that polyline wouldnt let you make easily (helped a ton on my interior design project). knowing about lisp and how to install basic ones is super useful. ole image insertions are really useful if you're working on group projects or keep shifting your files around.

Xline (xl space) command is super helpful to me. Also " 'cal" expression "mee" (middle of endpoint to endpoint) to find centers of geometrical shapes. Put a "-" in front of many commands and you get rid of dialogs for that command use. Example -array. Txtexp for text explode into lines (helpful in CNC drawing cases sometimes).

[@LlyanAustria]

Thank you for the additional commands pal!! They help a lot!:)

[@Ian-gu1fr]

Just an addition to the trim/extend command, I personally prefer hitting shift as it toggles between trim and extend. For example, do trim and while holding shift, it switches to extend and vice versa.
