a quick question about a hidden command

[HullDrafter]

I tried to create a shortcut on a hidden command "Overkill"

I was using autolisp to shorten the command to "OK". It comes in handy when it is time to clean up my drawings.

When I tried, autocad said "Unknown command "-OVERKILL" "

I thought I had everything correct, any suggestions?

I've done this myself simply by editing the acad.pgp file or you could use the command alias editor in express tools. I use this little gem all the time. Good luck.

Hi,

OVERKILL is not a standard autocad command, it is lisp it self (from Express Tools) and you can not call a lisp function from (command) function

but you can do this:

(defun C:OK ()

 (c:overkill)   ; or (c:-overkill) for the command line version 

)

not that if express tools will fail to load OK function will fail also and it is better

to verify that Express Tools is memory

Cheers
