guitarguy1685 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm posting here because I think this is more of a management questions than a lisp question. My question is this; if you have a suite of lisps, do you give the command names "shortcut" names or full descriptive names? For example, I have a command that I call "COPYRADIAL". in my lisp that's what you use to call it. (defun C:COPYRADIAL (/)...etc Some people might just use (defun c:CR (/)...etc I don't use a shortcut because I don't want to inadvertently override a users personal pgp customizations, or an ACAD shortcut I just missed. The only downside is some users are not savvy enough to figure out how to customize their shortcuts. (i know, i know). How do you CAD managers approach this?

Commandobill Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 With autocad's autocomplete function, lately, I have had longer command names, since it's easy to use once you've typed them in a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricon77 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I have comprise a very long lisp file for all of my shortcuts. I saw someone's code that use a ":" for a prefix to a command. This idea made me group my sub-commands. For me, I use colon followed by a thing to launch a text based menu to trigger other commands. I just have one menu to focus on my workflow. This way out can use long function names. I took a class in OOP so my function are similar to that. Also this way a user can create a function to call another function to just shorten the name.
