Create keyboard shortcut for your favorite commands using CUI in AutoCAD.

If you click on any entity in the drawing area while outside a command, that entity`s grips, or control points, become active. Using grips, you can perform a variety of editing and manipulation tasks without entering `formal` command mode, that is, executing a command such as `Copy`, `Move`, etc. To exit grip mode, press `Escape` once or twice. You can manipulate Hatch Boundaries, Dimensions, Lines, Circles, Text, and PLines using grips.
