In AutoCAD 2000 I would like to put three commands on shortcut keys. I know
how to do that, I just don't know what the commands are.

I want a key to Select ALL, everything currently visible in the drawing.

I want a key to hide all but the current layer.

I want a key to unhide everything.

Thanks,

Gary H. Lucas

CTRL+A (not sure about 2000) or SELECT[enter]All[enter][enter]

SELECT;ALL;;

And then you can use P for previous to recall them...

-LAYER;F;*;;

Or if you have the Express Tools, use LAYISO

-LAYER;T;*;;

Or if you have the Express Tools, use LAYUNISO

Layer uniso didn't work or isn't available in 2000. You have to go to the
layer manager and ctrl-a, click on one of the frozen freeze in current
viewport icon.

Tracy,

Ctrl A for Select All is what I'm trying to get. It doesn't work in 2000
apparently. I wanted to make an alias to do it.

I also want to hit say O enter and have all layers off except the current.
Hit say A enter and they are all on again.

Are there any ways I can do this?

Ctrl-A works for me on 2000. Lisp can do what you want. I may be able to dig
up a vba utility that is a great layer control. Just need to get the authors
permission.

Gary,
For your layer freeze/thaw I've posted a little lisp routine (OFF.LSOP) in the customer files area. It does exactly what you want. "off" freezes all but the current layer. "on" thaws then all. I've used it for years.

I've included LAKEEP.LSP which will freeze all except the layers you select. "on" will then thaw all.
