ternal Command and Command Alias Definitions

; Copyright (C) 1997-2010 by Autodesk, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

; Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches ; the support path and reads the first acad.pgp file that it finds.

; -- External Commands -; While AutoCAD is running, you can invoke other programs or utilities ; such Windows system commands, utilities, and applications. ; You define external commands by specifying a command name to be used ; from the AutoCAD command prompt and an executable command string ; that is passed to the operating system.

; -- Command Aliases -; The Command Aliases section of this file provides default settings for ; AutoCAD command shortcuts. Note: It is not recommended that you directly ; modify this section of the PGP file., as any changes you make to this section of the ; file will not migrate successfully if you upgrade your AutoCAD to a ; newer version. Instead, make changes to the new ; User Defined Command Aliases ; section towards the end of this file.

; -- User Defined Command Aliases -; You can abbreviate frequently used AutoCAD commands by defining ; aliases for them in the User Defined Command Aliases section of acad.pgp.

; You can create a command alias for any AutoCAD command, ; device driver command, or external command.

; Recommendation: back up this file before editing it. To ensure that ; any changes you make to PGP settings can successfully be migrated ; when you upgrade to the next version of AutoCAD, it is suggested that ; you make any changes to the default settings in the User Defined Command ; Aliases section at the end of this file.

; External command format: ; <Command name>,[<Shell request>],<Bit flag>,[*]<Prompt>,

; The bits of the bit flag have the following meanings: ; Bit 1: if set, don't wait for the application to finish ; Bit 2: if set, run the application minimized ; Bit 4: if set, run the application "hidden" ; Bit 8: if set, put the argument string in quotes ; ; Fill the "bit flag" field with the sum of the desired bits. ; Bits 2 and 4 are mutually exclusive; if both are specified, only ; the 2 bit is used. The most useful values are likely to be 0 ; (start the application and wait for it to finish), 1 (start the ; application and don't wait), 3 (minimize and don't wait), and 5 ; (hide and don't wait). Values of 2 and 4 should normally be avoided, ; as they make AutoCAD unavailable until the application has completed. ;

; Bit 8 allows commands like DEL to work properly with filenames that ; have spaces such as "long filename.dwg". Note that this will interfere ; with passing space delimited lists of file names to these same commands. ; If you prefer multiplefile support to using long file names, turn off ; the "8" bit in those commands.

; Examples of external commands for command windows

; Command alias format: ; <Alias>,*<Full command name>

; The following are guidelines for creating new command aliases. ; 1. An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters. ; ; ; Commands with a control key equivalent, status bar button, or function key do not require a command alias. Examples: Control N, O, P, and S for New, Open, Print, Save.

; 2. Try the first character of the command, then try the first two, ; then the first three.

; 3. Once an alias is defined, add suffixes for related aliases: ; ; Examples: R for Redraw, RA for Redrawall, L for Line, LT for Linetype.

; 4. Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog ; ; ; ; Exceptions to the rules include AA for Area, T for Mtext, X for Explode. box commands. Example: B for Block, -B for -Block.

; -- Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands -; These examples include most frequently used commands. NOTE: It is recommended ; that you not make any changes to this section of the PGP file to ensure the ; proper migration of your customizations when you upgrade to the next version of ; AutoCAD. The aliases listed in this section are repeated in the User Custom ; Settings section at the end of this file, which can safely be edited while ; ensuring your changes will successfully migrate.
