Examples of Temporary Override Keys
The CUIx file that ships with AutoCAD defines the default temporary override
keys. You can use the default temporary override keys as examples when
creating your own temporary override keys.
The following table lists the default actions for temporary override keys on
an English U.S. keyboard. For more information about default temporary
override keys on other keyboards, see Override Object Snap Settings in the
User’s Guide.
