Some AutoCAD users use commands using the keyboard. We always recommend our audience to type the shortcode of the command or shortcut keys. It helps them to activate commands quickly and improve speed on AutoCAD. This is a very effective way to work quickly on AutoCAD. If your AutoCAD versions change from old to new, you will not feel difficulties working because you do not need to click on tools and controls. The second advantage of using keyboard commands is hiding the ribbon and getting big drawing space to work, as you do not need tools and controls from the ribbon.
