Eagi Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi all, I'm trying to update my hotkeys, put I can't seem to find the file acad.pgp file... in the program menus I get: Tools - Customiize - Edit Program Parameters = "File acad.pgp could not be found" So I thought maybe I could create one... put where should it be saved and where can I find an original to modify? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 type: (findfile "acad.pgp") to find your file. Findfile works on other customization-files as well, just FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have AutoCAD Electrical 2008 but the file system may be similar. On our installation most support files are in (something like) C:\Documents and Settings\dbroad\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2008\R17.1\enu\support but obviously with your login name not mine. The fun thing about that is that it is in a hidden folder so you will need to alter your file options in explorer before you can find it. Alternatively some support files reside in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Acade 2008\Support using Tiger's method, my pgp file is in the first of my suggestions.

Eagi Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes that seems like good advice if the file actually existed, but since it seems to be missing I'm looking for the directory where I should create one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Are we really talking about "hot keys" or command aliases here? If you are actually looking for the acad.pgp file do it the easy way. Go to the Ribbon. Click on the Manage tab and look at the Customization panel. There, in plain sight, is an icon labeled "Edit Aliases". It couldn't be any more simple than that.

Eagi Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks my paths was a little bit different but close enough! now after stealing a acad.pgp from one of my older computers it's working like a charm! Thank you again for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 There was no need to steal a pgp from from another computer unless you deleted the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagi Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 You are right it's aliases I was refering to, now that I have recreated the file (it somehow vanished when I was changing some other settings...) everything works again. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Vanished? I wonder if you now have TWO acad.pgp files in two separate locations. You might want to check on that possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagi Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Quite possible that I do, but since it takes the updates I make in the new file, it would seem that that is the one which is linked in. And if there is an old one then I can live with having a digital appendix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
