    Default pgp problems

    Has anyone ever seen AutoCAD ignore the pgp file? or at the very least act like it has a different file from the one displayed by aliasedit or stored in the support folder under the users name?

    You can see which file AutoCAD (not LT) is using with the following code.
    Code:
    (findfile "acad.pgp")
    It will return the first file found, which should be the one AutoCAD is using.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    The only way this could not be true is if the support paths are edited after AutoCAD starts -or- if a file higher up on the list is deleted - both unlikely...

    If a lisp is defining functions for the command shortcuts in question, then the PGP file is ignored e.g. (defun c:C ( ...)) would override COPY, CIRCLE, or whatever else the PGP file says.

    go to TOOLS / CUSTOMIZE / EDIT PROGRAM PARAMETERS. this will open the PGP file. Then copy and paste content from the PGP file on your desktop into this file. You may need to restart AutoCAD, or type REINIT to reinitiate the file.
    I used this method because I was recently having problems just dragging and dropping the PGP file into AutoCAD. I dont think this method will automattically update each time the PGP file is updated, sorry. If anyone else knows why please let me know
