Command Alias Question

Hello.

 

I had to reset all my command aliases because I had to restore my ACAD to its default settings. Luckily, I saved a copy of my edited PGP file to reference for the key commands I use frequently and was able to import. Was having issues with all of them working because they were still referring to their original default, but after reading other comments, I made sure the corrected pgp file was being referenced in the support file path. For the most part, I tested a few commands I typically use and they are working...for now, except the one I changed for the "OPEN" command.  I've already closed out of ACAD and reopened and this didn't fix the issue.

Is there a reason why I can't get my command for "OPEN" to work when I type "O" as I've shown in the images attached? It still brings up the OFFSET command. Any help is much appreciated.

 

I'm working in AutoCAD 2019

Windows 7 Pro

Copy and paste this line in your command line then hit enter,

see what being loaded.

Thanks for this...it worked! Smiley Happy What's weird is that it had a saved day and time of earlier today when I was editing. Not sure why this particular command didn't work through the alias command and I had to manually add to this file. I'm sure I'll have to reference this post again, since my autoCAD always needs to be reset to defaults a few times a year.

Perhaps keep an eye at the bottom, inside the PGP file.
AutoCAD suggests this is the place to define your keys.
Last definition wins...

A gift of extraordinary Common Sense does not require an Acronym Suffix to be added to my given name.
