Contents of my acad.pgp file
It seems everyone has their own preferences when it comes to command shortcuts. I’ve seen 15 different key-combinations for the CIRCLE command. Personally, I try to keep most of the commands I use frequently on the left side of my keyboard. Just today someone asked me for a copy of my acad.pgp file, so I thought I’d go one step further.
If you have a better combination for a certain command, leave me a comment and let me know about it!
; Command alias format:
;Â Â <Alias>,*<Full command name>
;Â The following are guidelines for creating new command aliases.
;Â 1. An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters.
;Â Â Â Â Â Commands with a control key equivalent, status bar button,
;Â Â Â Â Â or function key do not require a command alias.
;Â Â Â Â Â Examples: Control N, O, P, and S for New, Open, Print, Save.
;Â 2. Try the first character of the command, then try the first two,
;Â Â Â Â Â then the first three.
;Â 3. Once an alias is defined, add suffixes for related aliases:
;Â Â Â Â Â Examples: R for Redraw, RA for Redrawall, L for Line, LT for
;Â Â Â Â Â Linetype.
;Â 4. Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog
;Â Â Â Â Â box commands.
;Â Â Â Â Â Example: B for Block, -B for -Block.
;
; Exceptions to the rules include AA for Area, T for Mtext, X for Explode.
;Â — Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands –
; These examples include most frequently used commands. NOTE: It is recommended
;Â that you not make any changes to this section of the PGP file to ensure the
;Â 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
;Â Settings section at the end of this file, which can safely be edited while
;Â ensuring your changes will successfully migrate.
