command alias' transfer?

[randyspear6624]

Could somebody outline the most efficient way to transfer my custom pgp commands?

I'm constantly moving between different computers and autodesk versions.

I used to just be able to overwrite the acad.pgp file in the support directory but this doesn't seem to work in the newer versions and I'm hesitant to continue like that in case their are new commands introduced in newer versions that I don't know about then they'd be overwriten.

Is there anyway to include my command overrides (eg. c=copy) in my back up cui file?

for me the simplest way to always have my command is,
 create a file,mylisp.lsp, for example:

(DEFUN C:C   () (COMMAND "COPY" "au")
(PRINC)
)

(DEFUN C:BP  () (COMMAND "BPOLY")
(PRINC)
)

and so on...

You just have to load it, your alias will overwrite pgp alias...

Rather than overwriting the entire PGP file, just copy-paste the contents after the "Do not modify above this section" remark in the file.  Last one in file wins so you don't have to worry about the content above what you add.  If you do this frequently just keep a text file that only contains the lines you need to append.  Thats likely much easier than carting around CUIx files between potentially different versions/flavors which has its own problems.

Thanks guys, I think I prefer Henrique's method because I'll only have to do it once and add it to my startup apps. Opposed to modifying the pgp file for every version.

Take care,

You're welcome, randy
