AutoCad Hot Keys: Scrolling between Sheet Tabs?

[Andrew Spiering]

You can use Alt+Tab to scroll between programs and Ctrl+Tab scrolls open Files. Is there a hot-key for scrolling between sheet tabs?

Just wondering… Thanks!

Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down will cycle through them.

There’s a very helpful add-on that lets you add tabs to navigate each drawing: works like the tabs in IE for multiple pages. Appload or add to your startup suite. See attachment.
