  • In both parallels, vmware, bootcamp. You need to hold fn+delete to actually delete things like lines in autocad. If you don't like holding delete, you can probably add an other button like i did for the escape key. if you need any more help, just ask

  • if anyone finds this useful please give it a rating so that other people can see it as well. thanks

  • I don't see why the @ key would not work... the reason why the escape key doesn't work is because its in the F1-F2-F3 class. and if you press those buttons you get your mac options... like making your screen brighter, or volume up / down. If you hold down Fn though. then you get F1 and so forth. The number keys and everything else works fine. only for the Esc key, and for the DEL key you have to get used to it. I just checked it for you, and the @ key works just fine :D

  • I also alocated 2gb of ram to vmware fusion, just thought i should mention that.

    Sorry that the video is so horrible. this is my first video, and i couldn't bother to make it look nice. Its only for those who have a mac and need to run autocad.

see all

  • Hi, Ive just made my DEL key work on its own without pressing Fn Del. Thank God☺! At VM Preferences-Keyboard&Mouse- (+) button to add, From: Delete

    To: Fn Delete (Forward Delete).

    Thank you.

  • What are the specs of your virtual machine? 2gb of ram and what else...

  • Can you not make delete key work in cada. You know when u select a line an you want to delete it u want to press delete. Is there anyway I could map that key into other. When using cad Delete is the most impartant thing if you want to draw faster and also esc. Can you please tell me if you have any ideas. Arturo from London

  • hi

    and what about "@" key in autocad inside vmware ?

    thank you
