jarr3tt88 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You need to search for the PGP file and change it there. It should be under your user, app data, roaming, autodesk, your vesrion, blah blah blah then its under the support folder. Acad.pgp Change the polyline and line back to whatever you wish.

FERRF Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 but the problem its not just pline or line, its every command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarr3tt88 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well start there, look in the PGP file... Here is mine if you want to try and override it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/612w4etxte46ym6/acadlt.pgp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 What would ever possess you to change the line command to "1"? There's probably a backup copy of the acad.pgp file already on your hard drive. Did you look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddJax Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You can isolate your most commonly used commands on one side of the keyboard so that you can key in commands with one hand while using the mouse with the other. I'm got mine tuned that way and have even added a few macros to be able to change back and forth from my most commonly used layers and dim/text styles. It's a game-changer once you get the hang of it. Say goodbye to the ribbon, tool bars, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my right hand on the mouse, not jumping around all over the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 After doing this for as long as I have, my left hand is pretty good at covering the entire keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FERRF Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 thanks guys but theres still problems. Im using mechanical 12, I know Im a noob and cant find the PGP file. I still have the commands but now instead of type just L for Line Ill need to type LINE if I want to shortcut in the keyboard, at this point in this conditions its faster to look for it in the ribbon. How can I fix this? I tried to create new profile but nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FERRF Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 finally i found the pgp file. I erased and tried nothing.

SLW210 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 After doing this for as long as I have, my left hand is pretty good at covering the entire keyboard. Same here. Only thing I add to PGP is new shortcuts for commands that don't have them. thanks guys but theres still problems. Im using mechanical 12, I know Im a noob and cant find the PGP file. I still have the commands but now instead of type just L for Line Ill need to type LINE if I want to shortcut in the keyboard, at this point in this conditions its faster to look for it in the ribbon. How can I fix this? I tried to create new profile but nothing Try (findfile "acad.pgp") on the commandline (include the parentheses).

ReMark Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Did you search your hard drive yet? A quick check of my computer, running both AutoCAD 2014 and 2015, finds two copies for each version stored in two different folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven-g Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Did you run REINIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I moved your thread to the The CUI, Hatches, Linetypes, Scripts & Macros Forum. Is that the path given when you enter (findfile "acad.pgp") on the commandline? AutoCAD uses the First .pgp file it finds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FERRF Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 thanks slw210 My mistake trying to fix it i guess i deleted more files than i needed and had to repair autocad, running defaults now thanks everyone for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
