    Command Alias Editor

    I just started a new job and this new company has their keyboard commands all on a shared drive.  So if someone goes to change a command, it changes everyone's. 

     

    I need help trying to figure out how to customize my commands and it not affect anyone else's.  Every time I try to apply an update to a command, it asks me if I want to update the (pgp) file on our network drive.  If I do, everyone will have the same changes applied to their machines.  Does it have something to do with my profiles in my options? 

     

    Never had this problem before so please can someone help?

     

     

    Thanks,

    Chris

    use LISP to alter commands.

    LISP?  Can you be a little more detailed?  Is that a command in 2011?  If so, I appoligize for asking this on 2011 discussion group, but I'm running Civil 3D 2010.  I've asked on that discussion group but nobody has given an answer.

     

    Can anyone offer an explanation of my issue please?

     

    Thanks.

    Lots of them actually...  I usually make everything accessable to my left hand so I can keep my right hand on the mouse as much as possible.  Saves me lots of time at the end of the day.  Wow, just realizing how geeky that sounds, but oh well.

    Try this, save this E.lsp anywhere in your PC. Then type in APPLOAD, find this lisp and load it.

    Your E command will become COPY

    and MI will be move.

    Open this with word or notepad and add anything you want.

    Wow thanks so much for that.  It works just fine.  I wish I remembered how to make LISP routines.  I forgot all that when I finished college.  Know any good places online to get some cool ones?

    An alternative solution to the problem is the create a new acad.pgp file in another location and include the containing folder in your support paths. Then bump this folder above the folder that contains the corporate acad.pgp in the support folders list, then use the command REINIT to reload the acad.pgp, and it will take precedent over the other acad.pgp file. To restore the corporate acad.pgp just bump the new folder below and REINIT. You could also set up two profiles, one with the custom acad.pgp folder further up the list and another with the corporate standard.
