Published in AutoCAD Shortcuts 1 min read

The shortcut for copying format in AutoCAD is Ctrl+Shift+C.

This shortcut allows you to copy the formatting of selected objects, such as line type, color, layer, and linetype scale, and apply it to other objects.

Here's how to use it:

  1. Select the object(s) whose formatting you want to copy.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+C.
  3. Select the object(s) you want to apply the copied format to.
  4. Press Enter.

Note: This shortcut only copies the formatting properties and does not copy the geometry of the original object.

Example: You can copy the formatting of a red, dashed line to another line.

Practical Insight: The copy format shortcut is a quick and easy way to apply consistent formatting to multiple objects in your drawing. It can save you time and effort, especially when dealing with large drawings with many similar objects.
