Topic: Is there an easy way to assign alias through .net?

[nobody]

Possible to assign alias to several commands in one method or do I need to create one for every alias I want to assign.

Basically I want to change the rotate command to "RT", the EditLabelText command to "elt", etc but would be easier to manage if I could control it all under one method, rather than multiple ones. Hope that makes sense (not sure about the jargon)

Any reason why you don't just change the PGP file?  That's like using a door handle instead of a wrecking ball.

Allows others who use my cpu to run it normally but when I load my stuff, the aliases come in.

I still do not understand why you'd need to change the PGP file at all.

If others are using your machine, they should be logging into it using their domain credentials.

If the ability to change machines at-will is important, even if only in the event of a disaster so that each employees settings remain consistent, the profile should be loaded/updated from common network location, and individual custom settings should be stored to each user's personal network space and mapped accordingly.

This way, any user can log into any machine - be it for a project meeting in the conference room, or following a disk failure / machine replacement - and have their settings applied.

There's a few other reasons I'd like to...if I were as stationary as your descriptions it would work. I suppose it has to do with me moving around, more than the GF using my machine for her work also. This would allow the alias to load anywhere I am.  More of a convenience.

Thanks for trying though.

I try and leave CAD alone as much as possible. Instead of modifying the .pgp file I use a .lsp file with all my 'redefined' commands that gets loaded with my cui

eg:
(defun C:C ()
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
  (prompt "COPY\n")
  (command "_.COPY")
  (setvar "cmdecho" 1)
  (princ)
)
(defun C:CI ()
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
  (prompt "CIRCLE\n")
  (command "_.CIRCLE")
  (setvar "cmdecho" 1)
  (princ)
)
(defun C:DW ()
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
  (prompt "DRAWORDER\n")
  (command "_.DRAWORDER")
  (setvar "cmdecho" 1)
  (princ)
)
(defun C:LN ()
  (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
  (prompt "LENGTHEN\n")
  (command "_.LENGTHEN")
  (setvar "cmdecho" 1)
  (princ)
)

... its not .net though
