CAD tip # 3037:

After you run StrokeIt, its icon is displayed in Windows system tray. From there you can start program configuration where you can define the requested actions (reactions to a given mouse stroke) for the individual applications and assign requested commands to these actions (which keys should be "pressed" for an action) - see the screenshot:

You can import the ACAD.SXP file (for download on Download), which we have prepared as an example of a couple of AutoCAD commands executed by gestures of your pointing device.

Import this configuration file and try e.g. to draw (with right mouse button pressed) this styled A - AutoCAD shoud run the MTEXT command.
With this up-down stroke you can easily invoke screen redraw (_REDRAW command).
Other commands/strokes are predefined by StrokeIt and work also in AutoCAD (Undo, Open, Save, Close, Print, Maximizing, etc.)

If you enter a gesture which cannot be recognized by StrokeIt, the dialog box below is displayed and you can learn the gesture to StrokeIt.

Note - the current (2/2005) version of StrokeIt 9.5 collides with the long-right-click function in AutoCAD 2004 (and higher) - this function doesn't work with StrokeIt. If you use your middle mouse button for StrokeIt you cannot use it for Panning in AutoCAD.
