AutoCAD alias commands
« on: Jun 02, 2008, 18:29:31 PM »
My basic AutoCAD alias commands stopped working. Where do I reload them at? Commands like L for line, C for circle, not recognized, however if I type in the word it works.

Alias can be changed though express. The acad .pgp file is where they're stored

I got that part but I don't want to modify them, they don't work anymore, none are working.

Did you open the pgp file and see if it was blank?

Everything is in there. Can I send you a screen shot to show you what it looks like?

Yes. Try this and reload the acad cui or what ever platform. Make sure it's not the .bak

I figured it out. The alias command had a bunch of commas in front of them and once I reased the corrupt list and pasted one that I had saved it works.

Should be here.... just make sure you replace the **** with your log-in name and with your ACAD version...

Code: [Select]

I even use Aliases for most of the MAP commands.... it has been my theory that the use of keyboard shortcuts and mouse is the fastest way to draw..... looking for icons is time consuming....  :)

You can also try ALIASEDIT from the command line.

Sweeeeet  :D

I mess with the ACAD.pgp once in a while, but this is a much easier way to tinker.

Thanks for that one  ;)
