This week, we polled our Q&A Community to discover which programs everyday engineers were using the most. Other than Microsoft Excel, which we already have an extensive shortcuts list about, AutoCAD was next in line.
For all the AutoCAD users out there, from new to expert, here are the top 50 AutoCAD tricks, commands, and shortcuts from across the web.
CHSPACE
Allows you to move objects in a drawing from layout to model space by choosing a viewport to push the text or objects into. This works in both directions.

BURST
BURST allows you to explode a block/object without losing any of its attributes.

NCOPY
Copies linework or objects from a nested object into your current drawing. Especially useful for bringing XREF linework into current drawings.

OOPS
OOPS does exactly what you think it does, it fixes your mistake (as long as it's a delete) no matter how far back it was. Instead of using CTRL-Z, OOPS undoes your last erase command without affecting any work you have done since then.

FILEDIA
Setting this value to 1 allows dialog boxes to open in AutoCAD, setting it to 0 means everything is done in the command line.

APPLOAD
Allows you to set which application to load in conjunction with opening AutoCAD.

Work with Images
Instead of scaling and rotating images each time, simply insert the image into a blank drawing and set its position, scale, and rotation. After your image is how you want it, save the drawing. This lets you insert that image as a drawing, instead of the image, and all settings are kept the same. Especially useful for images like company logos, etc.
