Getting Started
Just unzip the files to your AutoCAD® folder, add the appropriate directory to the AutoCAD support path (based on whether your system is 32- or 64-bit), and load the ObjectARX® file AcBackForward.arx. It will install automatically. You then need to restart AutoCAD to begin using it. (For details on how to load an ObjectARX file, see "APPLOAD" in the AutoCAD help file.)
Note: The 2008 versions of AutoCAD (without the ribbon) do not have toolbar buttons. You can use the CUI command to manually add some old-style buttons. Just use the NAVBACK and NAVFORWARD commands.
The download contains separate folders with installers for 32-bit and 64-bit in one ZIP file. Download, unzip (preserving paths), and load the ObjectARX® application that matches your version of AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based software.
You can access the AutoCAD Navigation Tool using the:
- Toolbar: Note back/forward arrows in the upper-left corner of the AutoCAD window.
- Mouse: If your mouse has buttons that allow forward and backward navigation in your web browser, they can be used for this purpose in AutoCAD as well.
- Keyboard Shortcut: Alt+Left Arrow and Alt+Right Arrow.
- Commands: NAVBACK and NAVFORWARD.
