Shortcut for TEXTEDIT not working in 2015

[johnw]

I use a shortcut called ED for Edit Text or "Textedit" command and it doesnt work on 2015 now.

(defun c:ED () (command "TEXTEDIT"))

Does anyone know why this no longer is working?

Thanks,

John W.

As a test (defun c:XX () (command "TEXTEDIT")) works fine here in plain AutoCAD 2015 where you are posting: perhaps something else has ED locked up?

Did you "migrate" from an older version? have an add-on?

Any reason ED can't be in your PGP file since your lisp doesn't seem to do much more than call the command? Just curious.

I adjusted some items in my support file search path and it works now. Thanks for the quick response!

Care to share how you fixxed this? I'm having the exact same issue. ( "ED" is listed correctly in the pgp file. Yet still comes up as "Unknown Command")

It actually just started working by itself oddly. I didn't do anything! 2015 was very quarky and I uninstalled it and went back to 2014. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I am having the same problem.  I noticed that DDEDIT is no longer a command in 2015, and has been replaced by TEXTEDIT AND MTEDIT, but even when I edit aliases and try to create ED as a shortcut for MTEDIT or TEXTEDIT, it still does not work.  Is there no way to use ED for a shortcut in 2015?  Thanks for your help!

 So I had this same issue and what I found was that there was a duplicate Textedit shortcut in the pgp file.  Make sure you look through all the sections in the pgp file and delete the duplicates.  I only found one duplicate.  This solved the problem.

I will see if that's the problem on my end too. Thanks for the info.

I added this to my acaddoc.lsp file and ED works fine in 2018.

(defun c:ED () (command "TEXTEDIT"))
