I have a new install of 2009 Acad MEP (done by our corporate office) and I'm having some issues with a few of my regular PGP shortcuts.

5 of my regular PGP shortcuts have been commandeered by other commands but I can't figure out where they reside.

The commands are that are broken are:
MC, *LAYMCUR and currently gives me "move"
LU, *LAYUNISO and currently gives me " lu textscr"
D, *DIMALIGNED and currently gives me "dist Specify first point: nea to"
MP, *MATCHPROP and currently gives me "move"
NU, *+UCSMAN but only Requires "enter" to work

It looks to me that the people that set up my machine loaded some of their own shortcuts or lisps that are overiding my PGP file.

Any ideas?

First, do the following at a command prompt.
Command: (findfile "acad.pgp")

This tells you if your PGP is the one being found by AutoCAD.

If yours is the one being found, make sure your modifications are all located at the bottom of the file where they belong. (The last definition wins, and that is why the section for user modifications is at the bottom of the file. Most people make the mistake of editing the upper portion of the file.)

Finally, if that does not fix your issue, there may be some Visual LISP or .NET commands being defined and you are just going to have to give up using those shortcuts yourself.

I just found the problem.

I was a lisp that was listed in my appload startup menu.

I went through the entire list and rewiewed all of the lisp routines with notepad until I found the one with the commands that were giving me troubles.

I removed it and no more issues with my shortcuts.

Thanks!
