PGP file command aliases custom

[kizaerf]

My company is switching to a 'miniframe' system for our network such as this: http://www.miniframe.com/KB/OnlineHelp/hardware_requirements.html

 

Basically there is one main computer handing the Autocad and we still have our own workstations. the problem is, I have my own custom commands in the acad.PGP file, and apparently, if I alter the command aliases, it will change for everyone else.

 

Is there a work around for this where I can have my own custom aliases WITHOUT affecting the rest of the company? or else I will have to use the standards which are terrible.

You can't convince the powers-that-be to adopt your new and improved command aliases?

 

Maybe this holds the key to solving your problem.

 

"The first PGP file found in the AutoCAD-based product's support search paths is loaded, which are defined on the Files tab of the Options dialog box."

 

I translate that to mean there could be more than one acad.pgp. The first one AutoCAD comes across and loads is the winner.

Not sure if you are telling me that it can still be custom or if you are being sarcastic..

Believe me if I were being sarcastic you'd definitely know it.

 

First guy that crosses the finish line wins.

 

Take your custom acad.pgp file and put it in a folder on your root drive. Add the path to this folder at the very top of your support file search path. Test it. Does it work?

ah! ok. gotcha, Thank you (= I will have to test it tomorrow when the system is in place (i am using someone else's computer today while they change the network over.

I'd test it for you but I am not using a networked version of AutoCAD. Let us know what happens. Happy New Year.
