acad.pgp

In the acad.pgp file ("Tools" > "Customize" > "Edit Program Parameters (acad.pgp)" ), there are several lists of command alias, and each list contains alias...

 

Have a look at these two lists from my acad.pgp:

;  -- Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands --  

[...]

D,         *DIMSTYLE

[...]

 

;  -- User Defined Command Aliases --

[...]

D,         *DIMLINEAR

[...]

 

so, you see, I have the same alias for two commands... Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I understand, the alias from ";  -- User Defined Command Aliases --" just have the highest priority in the acad.pgp. Am I right ?

 

This way, I can edit the ";  -- User Defined Command Aliases --" alias list in the Notepad, without bothering myself, if this alias is already used in the ";  -- Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands --  ". Is this so ?)

AutoCAD will read the last entry it finds: so if D=Dimlinear is at the bottom of the ACAD.PGP file that is what D will get assigned to. That's why the user defined section is at the bottom.

What does

; Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2004:

mean ?

 

That in AutoCAD 2009 o earlier these alias will not work ?

cause I use AutoCAD 2011, and at least one command from the list works (BMOD, *BLOCK).

Someone at Autodesk decided to mask dead commands with other current/available commands to help those users that may not know it.

so that's the point, that ALL of them work in AutoCAD 2011...

For exemple:

; Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2000:

[...]

DDATTDEF,   *ATTDEF

[...]

 

;  -- Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands --    

[...]

ATT,       *ATTDEF

[...]

 

 

both of them work properly in my AutoCAD 2011 🙂

English is not my native language, but "; Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2000:" I would understand as if they don't work in Autocad 2000+ versions.
