Quick Access to Past Values in AccuDraw

AccuDraw is a truly fabulous tool for design work. Something you may not be aware of, to speed up even more, is that you can use the “Page Up” and “Page Down” keys to cycle backward and forward through past key-in values. This is great if you have to make lots of entries of similar distances, but not the same one over and over which AccuDraw already does well. For example you are drawing a line string. The first segment is 6’:6”, the next is 8’:4.5” and you want to reuse the 6’:6” value again. Lock to the appropriate axis and hit page up twice and then data point. The new segment will be 6’:6”.
