................"accelerator" keystroke shortcut for "repeat previous command" like Autocad has had forever? I have gone to keyboardshortcuts.txt and found no way to create it. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any help.

The simple answer is this is not a feature in Revit. There are keyboard shortcuts you can create though for most commands.

I keep running into examples like this where simple drafting conveniences that Autocad is loaded with are left out of Revit until people complain enough. If you can repeat a command by clicking with a mouse, then they can write a lisp routine to do the same thing with the space bar. Revit is strong on the flashy side but weak on the mundane stuff that just makes life go lots smoother for the people trying to work efficiently.

You say that Cad shortcuts have been left out as if Autodesk Created Revit, it isnt Cad based becuase autocad didnt create revit they baught it from another creator. That is why you dont have the shortcuts untill Autodesk gets alot of complaints.

There is a "create similar" button on the tool bar next to the "pushpin". You select the line or object, walls, doors etc, that you want to keep working and then click the button. Basically the same as Acad. Post edited on 2006-08-10 15:31:42 Post edited on 2006-08-10 15:32:07

..........I might as well click on the wall, dimension, move, whatever, command that I am wanting to repeat. When Revit was bought by Autodesk, it did not have the simple attribute of using a selection box from the right to select all that crosses the box and select from the left to pick all that is inside the box. Some of us asked why not and, tadaaa, it appeared in the next release. Maybe the same thing will happen with the space bar being programmed to "repeat last command" if enough folks whine and cry about it. LOL.

Yes I do agree with Hogmodo, that will make life easier on revit,. So what if Autodesk din create Revit, does that mean it should include such mundane and very prowerfull stuff that were present in Autocad right from days of yore. It would make transition from Autocad to Revit a lot more easier .

Well said. Come on AutoDesk, let's have a repeat previous command function, it really is tedious without it!
