Custom command not working "DD" for DIMLINEAR

Anonymous

Using AutoCAD 2018 full version, I have changed a number of shortcut keys to my likes. But one of them doesn't stick, namely the DIMLIN command.

I changed it to "DD". I did so using the command "ALIASEDIT", changed the alias to be "DD" instead of "DIMLIN" which is the DIMLINEAR command.

When I type "DD" in the command line in CAD, it acts like it took the command (ie. it doesn't give me the "unknown command" error), but it doesn't do anything. So, I thought maybe it didn't take the change I made using "ALIASEDIT", so I opened the acad.pgp file, checked it there, it was all good. Closed CAD and reopened, still doesn't work! Tried changing it to something else, like "ZZ", and IT WORKS!! So why won't "DD" work???

Been using CAD for 20 yrs or so with "D" or "DD" for DIMLIN, would be nice to keep it that way! 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 Here are 2 screen shots, one of the APPLOAD list, the other of the APPAUTOLOADER command line list results. Not sure if this resolves or explains anything, but I'm sure it has something in there that interferes with the "DD" alias command. I should have mentioned the add-on toolbox that I am using at the start of this thread, important info that I left out, for that I apologize. The add-on Toolbox seems to be the cause of my trouble, therefor I don't have much of a choice but to live with the change. 

 Sorry for the trouble and thanks a ton for all the help on this thread!!

Hi @Anonymous

 

I think you're probably right about the toolbox.fas from Microvellum.  I'm assuming that's a change from previous releases.  Maybe you can contact them about the DD issue.

 

At least we've probably figured out the reason DD is not working.  Smiley Very Happy
