Autocad Architecture 2023 "AECFILLET" Command

[mikeK4LWB]

Hello everyone!

I have upgraded to the 2323 version of Autocad Architecture and have found that I can no longer use the "FILLET" command on walls. I have found that you have to use the "AECFILLET" command to fillet walls. Okay, I got that, but I have to type in A-E-C-F-I-L-L-E-T in the command line every time I want to execute the command!

Typing in this command each time is time-consuming and cumbersome for me each time I want to fillet the corners of walls. I like pressing key commands, not typing commands!

How can I make this a shortcut key such as "F -key = Fillet" in the PGP files?

In an out-of-the-box, default settings installation of AutoCAD Architecture, the ACA.cuix file is the main customization file.  Are you using a differently-named main customization file?

I ask because the out-of-the-box, default settings installation will also place a file called ACA.mnl in the AutoCAD search path (for 2023, United States English language installation, that file can be found at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2023\Support\en-us, your mileage may vary).

MNL files contain AutoLISP code and are loaded when a CUIX file of the same name (not counting the extension) is loaded.  The ACA.mnl file AutoLISP code undefines and redefines several commands, including FILLET.  The redefined command will run the AECFILLET command if the AutoCAD

Architecture AecArchApp.arx file is loaded, indicating that ACA is being run as ACA, and will run the FILLET command if it is not loaded, indicating that ACA is being run as AutoCAD.

If you are not loading the ACA.cuix file, but instead use a customized version of it with a different name (eg, MyACA.cuix), then you need to make a copy of the ACA.mnl file and rename it (eg, MyACA.mnl), so that it will load when your custom CUIX is loaded, and do the redefinition.  Then FILLET will work on Walls.
