M2P is too long..

[chrisdarmanin]

how can i make a keyboard shortcut to make it shorter? it seems that i cant through acad.pgp.

what i would like is something like MPP rather than M2P or something similar

If I read you right, all you have to do is change the M2P in the acad.pgp file to MMP, or even MP if you want. Then type REINIT for it to take effact immediately.

I suppose you know the Shift + Right click method.

If you define a new command in lisp like this,

(defun c:MP()
(command "_M2P")
)

you have to type 'MP to use it.

You can also look into the CUI dialog and make a new keyboard shortcut, I think.

[chrisdarmanin]

cant do it through acad.pgp even after i REINIT

if i type MPP (which has been changed through acad.pgp to M2P) before a command it works but obviously its an unknown command by itself.

if i type it after i start a command it doesnt recognise it...

btw its acad 2007 full

yes i know of the shift right click but i like to use the keyboard

tried through the CUI but dont know how to make it work...

i'll try the lisp...

[chrisdarmanin]

the lisp didn't work.

what i need it to start the command during another command such as line or mirror

[Alan Cullen]

What exactly is M2P? Is it a lisp routine? Because my 2007 doesn't recognise it as a command.

[chrisdarmanin]

mid between 2 points

start the line command then type M2P.

its a great command and i use it a lot

[Alan Cullen]

I don't think it's actually a command, all I can find is that it is a command modifier, bit like osnap maybe. If I'm correct you can't give it a shortcut, unless Ragi's suggestion works.

Sorry, I've never used it, so I'm not at all familiar with it.

[chrisdarmanin]

yes its to snap between 2 point. its part of osnap so i guess its a command modifier

thanks for your help anyway
