AutoCAD 2013 LT Command prompt

[knafziger]

Hi There,

 

 

I seem to have lost the ability to use short-form commands in the command prompt. I was able to do it, and not I can't. I don't know what changed. For instance.... I can type in 'LINE' and the line command will initiate; However, I cannot initiate the line command by typing in 'L'. I have tried to change it through the CUI with no luck. Other commands like, move and copy are effected too. Please help!

Take a look at the image linked below. I think LT will have this same command in the Ribbon.

Try this and if it's there, it should open the PGP file in Notepad. This is the file that defines many one or two button shortcuts.

Thank you... I did find the 'Edit Aliases' however when I click on it, it says 'File acadlt.pgp could not be found'. I'm not sure where to point my 'Support File Search Path' to find it.

Good, that explains why your shortcuts are not working.

The easiest way to fix this would be to run a REPAIR on your AutoCAD LT install.

If the problem is just that your support file search paths are messed up, then you may just need to reset your profile (Options > Profiles > Reset)
