"C" for copy & "CR" for circle ~ ACAD2006
« on: March 06, 2006, 04:45:28 PM »
Okay, they finally upgraded my ACAD 2000LT to ACAD Mechanical 2006 (FULL!!!). So i am just learning all the new features!  8-)

I just about have my settings exactly how I had it in LT except for one thing.

How do I change my "C" to copy and "CR" to circle?

Thanks

edit your acad.pgp file (tack this onto the end)

C,         *Copy
CR,         *CIRCLE

you could do this too.

Command: (defun c:c () (repeat 2 (command)) (command "_copy") (princ))
C:C
Command: (defun c:cr () (command) (command) (command "circle") (princ))
C:CR

Sorry, just had to.

(defun c:cr ()
  (command "_circle")
  (princ "\nG'head and draw your stupid circle already..." )
  (while (eq (getvar "cmdactive") 1)
     (command PAUSE)
    )
  (princ "\nMy goodness your slow! Its a wonder you can draw at all.")
  (princ) )

Hows that?

I changed all my PGP files (3) but still no go. When they installed my 06 mechanical is seems that I can load up 2 diffrent versions. Mechanical and vanilla. The mechanical version is changed but the vanilla version isn't.

The PGP file is in separate locations for each flavor AutoCAD you run in 2006.  You can either make the same changes while running in vanilla or you can copy the Mechanical over the one in the Vanilla location.
They are in the support folder for each program in the Documents and Settings folder under your log in name.

That did it, thanks Dino (& everybody).

I did a search in my Autodesk folder instead of my C: drive, which didn't allow me to see the PGP files for my profile.

You can also use Express->Tools->Command Alias Editor and not worry about hunting for and editing the file yourself.

Never seen that one.  Was it 2006?  Did Autocad crash when it happened?

I notice 2006 isn't incredibly stable, even for Autocad.  There are all kinds of times that strange things begin to happen for no apparent reason, and it doesn't seem to be consistent.  For example, I recently had a layer switch to "permanent on" mode.  I didn't even know there was such a thing.  I could freeze and turn off the layer, but it would continue to display.  Shutting down Autocad and restarting caused everything to return to normal.

I've started to get used to, in 2006, if strange things start happening, shut it down and see if that fixes the problem.  Often, it does.   :-o
