Run a command at AutoCAD LT Startup

[Inferno6919]

1. "Undefine" is not a recognised command in 2007LT (so not in any LT, I'd assume).

You assume right.

2. LT does use a pgp file - aclt.pgp.


EDIT -
Oops. They've changed it.
In 2007LT it's "acadlt.pgp"

How can I redefine a command using the pgp file? I have tried removing the command completely but it still works fine!


Thanks for your help.

Hi

Below example is extracted from the shipped version of the Acad.pgp file that comes with AutoCAD 2007. I would guess AcadLT.pgp contains a similar section...

; Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2007:
RMAT,      *MATERIALS
FOG,       *RENDERENVIRONMENT
FINISH,    *MATERIALS
SETUV,     *MATERIALMAP
SHOWMAT,   *LIST
RFILEOPT,  *RENDERPRESETS
RENDSCR,   *RENDERWIN

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks Mike.

So how does it work? Is it something like, if I add under this category ("Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2007") the commands I want to undefine, then these commands wouldn't be accessible? Or do I need to remove them from the pgp file altogether?

Thanks and apologies for my ignorance on this matter.

Hi

It is my understanding you would like to undefine and redefine commands in AutoCAD LT.

Therefore taking Richard's idea...

; Aliases for commands discontinued in AutoCAD 2007:
CommandNameToUndefine, *CommandNameToRedfine

Excellent. Thanks for that Mike. I will try it and hopefully it will do what I want it to do.

Thank you all for your replies and your help.

I will post the results whether it works or not.

unfortunately, it didn't work! The commands I tried to undefine through the pgp file, still work just fine.

Any other ideas or suggestions?

thanks

What commands did you try to redefine? How did you try to redefine the commands?

Knowing what you used may help others help you find the solution.

A variety of commands really. For example, the "style" command or "CUI" or "toolbar", "dimstyle", etc.

I tried to undefine the commands by a. erasing them from the pgp file and it didn't work b. adding them to the discontinued list of the pgp file and it didn't work either c. I disabled some of them in the cui menu of autocad (typed "cui" and went to the specific commands and added ~ ahead of the command) but this is something users can easily undo since they will be able to access the cui menu.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for your help.

Apparently, the PGP file cannot be used to redefine core commands. I can't think of anything else that would work on LT.

No. The pgp file only creates aliases (or runs external commands).

Since "undefine" isn't recognised by LT I imagine only the use of LTExtender or similar may make a difference.
