Revit 2010 Keyboard Shortcuts

With the release of Revit 2010 creating quite a stir due to the ribbon bar I thought it would be helpful to repost a keyboard shortcut list. I use alot of these shortcuts and they do help out greatly in both Revit 2009 and Revit 2010.

The shortcut list that follows is based off of Revit 2009 but I have yet to see any differences in 2010. Please comment if you know of any new or changed shortcuts.

Also, if you would like to edit/change your Revit 2010 keyboard shortcuts they can be found at: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program". The file is a .txt file. There are instructions within the file as to how you can create your own Revit shortcuts.

Revit Macros (Keyboard Shortcuts)

I recieved a few emails after the last tutorial, wall sweeps. The emails were about the macros I used during it. I decided to compile a list of the macros I tend to use every time I am on Revit. There are a lot of macros in Revit, but these are basics that I feel I am always using:

RP - Reference Plane
MM - Mirror
MV - Move
CO - Copy
VG - Visibility/Graphics
AR - Array
L - Line (Model Lines, not Drafted!)
RE - Resize
VP - View Properties

UN - Project Units

There are a whole lot more. I just thought I would share the ones I use every single day without any thought.  Unlike CAD, all you must do is type the two letters and Revit will activate the Macro.  No need for a space bar or enter.
