pan w/ key-board arrows

Hello,

Does any one know how to make acad 2002 pan using the arrows on the key-board. Another thing that would be usefully is if you could zoom using the + and - keys on the keyboard.

thanks in advance

We have added this to the menu files to get something similar.

***ACCELERATORS
[Control+"UP"]'-pan ^P(trans (list 0 (* -0.25 (getvar "viewsize"))) 0 1) ;^P
[Control+"DOWN"]'-pan ^P(trans (list 0 (* 0.25 (getvar "viewsize"))) 0 1)
;^P
[Control+"LEFT"]'-pan ^P(trans (list (* 0.25 (getvar "viewsize")) 0) 0 1)
;^P
[Control+"RIGHT"]'-pan ^P(trans (list (* -0.25 (getvar "viewsize")) 0) 0 1)
;^P

How do I add this to my menu file?

 

mo-mo,
Edit the file: \Program Files\AutoCAD 2002\support\acad.mns
Search for ***ACCEL
Cut / Paste the code there.
Save the file (as a text file)
In AutoCAD, at the command prompt, type:
Menuunload<enter>.
Unload any menu groups shown.
Browse for acad.mns .. file you edited.
Do 'Open', and load the menu.
Close the Dialog.
At this time, you should have the Control-keys needed.
