Lengthen NOT responding

[Squirltech]

Hello everyone! I have customized my .pgp file (in C3D) so LENGTHEN is represented by LL rather than LEN. The issue is, that if I use LL, I get an error message on the command line that reads:

 

"LL must be called from within another command"

 

LL doesn't represent anything else in C3D and LL works great in ACAD with Land Desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

 

P.S. I guess there's a possibility that LL is already "pointing" to something else but if that's the case, I don't know what that something else would be?

At the command line type some other combinations of L_ until you find one that doesn't do anything. Now edit the pgp file again with those two letters and then try it again. If it works then there is something set to LL overriding your pgp.

I've changed it to LM or LN and both work correctly. I can't find LL anywhere but LL gives me the same error message as displayed above. I guess I'll just start using LN for LENGTHEN. Thanks rkent, I appreciate your help.

Or if you are keen on the idea of a single key alias, I know I am, just use LLL.

Just because I'm curious, I found this : http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-Civil-3D/point-creation/td-p/3412679

 

There is a transparent command called 'LL for point creation in Civil 3D, perhaps it's the same in Land Desktop? I am doubtful that you can change transparent commands though, so I have no help to give.

 

Sorry.

Nicely scouted out there Tiger, I do believe you have nailed that problem!

Good job Tiger! I hadn't thought of that.

 

I think I'll just use LN as my new shortcut key to LENGTHEN. Thanks all for the help!
