Topic: Lost all keyboard shortcuts and linetypes

Help.

I have lost all command aliases. The pgp file is still in Support.

Is there a way to force it back?

Thanks,

Resolved.

For some reason (unknown to me) the acad\support folder was removed from my support file search path.

Should have spotted that one earlier.

Thanks anyway,

Bob

For Acad 2000, If your support path resided on a network drive and the network was not available at the time you opened autocad this would wipe out any search paths located on the network.

On a related note,.....

Our ITwit migrated us to a new server while I was at AU.  When I got back, everyones in a frenzy cause they cant plot, no custom routines, no tool palettes, etc.  I made everyone "repath their support settings to the new network location and call me in the morning."

That did the trick,  but for future refrence is their an easier way to accomplish this with one fell swoop?

The end result is: ITwit looked bad, cause they didnt check with me first.
I looked good, cause I was able to fix everything.

I'd look even better if I could just run some magic routine that would fix everyones pathing issues so they didn't have to.  (I'd like to "pocket" a solution for the next time this happens)

Anyone?

Not unless everbody uses the exact same support paths.  If they do (minus personal stuff) then yes it can be done rather easily.

Give a minute to dig it up and I'll post it here.

Code: [Select]

(defun C:RESET_SUPPORT (/ AcadTemp)
(setq AcadTemp
(strcat
;; ADD YOUR PATHS HERE AS QUOTED STRINGS
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\tspangle\\Application Data\\Autodesk\\ADT 2006\\enu\\Support;"
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\tspangle\\Application Data\\Autodesk\\ADT 2006\\enu\\Support\\pats;"
"C:\\ADT_6\\Support;"
"C:\\ADT_6\\Fonts;"
"C:\\ADT_6\\Help;"
"C:\\ADT_6\\Express;"
"C:\\ADT_6\\Support\\Color;"
)
)
(setenv "ACAD" AcadTemp)
(princ)
)


;;; USE THIS TO GET A LIST OF YOUR CURRENT SUPPORT PATHS, USE F2 COPY AND PASTE. THEN QUOTE THE WHOLE THING ( YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE (STRCAT  ) OR QUOTE EACH ONE SEPERATLY SO YOU CAN ADD TO IT LATER.
(setq AcadTemp (getenv "ACAD"))

YOU CAN THEN LOAD IT AND RUN IT WHEN NEED :O)


This should do the trick Jim.  If you need anymore help just yell (If you yell loud enough I actually may hear you  )

Thanks Tim.
That'll help BIG for the next time.
We do use the same network support paths for custom stuff.
I'll test it out when I get a chance.  Got kinda busy lately.
