PGP Problem

[jmay1]

I just started using Civil 3D 2014.

I always have my pgp set to SS for STRETCH and LL for LIST and would not like to change them. I use the same abbreviations in a few different pgp files.

I verified that I am using the correct pgp file.

Most of the pgp commands work just fine, but when I try to use SS it gives me the message "SS must be called from within another command".

The same happens with LL:  "LL must be called from within another command".

Any thoughts?

LL and SS are transparent commands that Civil 3D uses.  You should not assign those shortcuts to any commands.  You need to select different shortcuts.

"Most of the pgp commands work just fine, but when I try to use SS it gives me the message "SS must be called from within another command".

Those messages indicate that you are attempting to use a Transparent Command which must be used from within another Command.
Coincidentally, there are 2 Transparent Commands that use those aliases.
Side Shot to Specify a Point Location command = 'SS
Latitude Longitude to Specify a Point Location = 'LL

I guess I'll have to bite the bullet. Not a big one.

Thanks!
