Looking for english aliases for AutoCAD 2000

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Christine Sommerfeld, Jul 14, 2003.

  1. As the AutoCAD programmes I have access to are German versions I would
    like to ask for the English versions of the aliases. I would like to
    install the English Aliases in order to get more familiar with them
    and be able to apply for jobs in English speaking countries as well as
    in Germany.

    Thank you very much for your help

    This is the acad.pgp file supplied with A2002.

    ===============================================================

    ; AutoCAD Program Parameters File For AutoCAD 2000
    ; External Command and Command Alias Definitions

    ; Copyright (C) 1997-2000 by Autodesk, Inc.

    ; Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches
    ; the support path and reads the first acad.pgp file that it finds.

    ; -- External Commands --
    ; While AutoCAD is running, you can invoke other programs or
    utilities
    ; such Windows system commands, utilities, and applications.
    ; You define external commands by specifying a command name to be
    used
    ; from the AutoCAD command prompt and an executable command string
    ; that is passed to the operating system.

    ; -- Command Aliases --
    ; You can abbreviate frequently used AutoCAD commands by defining
    ; aliases for them in the command alias section of acad.pgp.
    ; You can create a command alias for any AutoCAD command,
    ; device driver command, or external command.

    ; Recommendation: back up this file before editing it.

    ; External command format:
    ; <Command name>,[<DOS request>],<Bit flag>,[*]<Prompt>,

    ; The bits of the bit flag have the following meanings:
    ; Bit 1: if set, don't wait for the application to finish
    ; Bit 2: if set, run the application minimized
    ; Bit 4: if set, run the application "hidden"
    ; Bit 8: if set, put the argument string in quotes
    ;
    ; Fill the "bit flag" field with the sum of the desired bits.
    ; Bits 2 and 4 are mutually exclusive; if both are specified, only
    ; the 2 bit is used. The most useful values are likely to be 0
    ; (start the application and wait for it to finish), 1 (start the
    ; application and don't wait), 3 (minimize and don't wait), and 5
    ; (hide and don't wait). Values of 2 and 4 should normally be
    avoided,
    ; as they make AutoCAD unavailable until the application has
    completed.
    ;
    ; Bit 8 allows commands like DEL to work properly with filenames that

    ; have spaces such as "long filename.dwg". Note that this will
    interfere
    ; with passing space delimited lists of file names to these same
    commands.
    ; If you prefer multiplefile support to using long file names, turn
    off
    ; the "8" bit in those commands.

    ; Examples of external commands for command windows

    CATALOG, DIR /W, 8,File specification: ,
    DEL, DEL, 8,File to delete: ,
    DIR, DIR, 8,File specification: ,
    EDIT, START EDIT, 9,File to edit: ,
    SH, , 1,*OS Command: ,
    SHELL, , 1,*OS Command: ,
    START, START, 1,*Application to start: ,
    TYPE, TYPE, 8,File to list: ,

    ; Examples of external commands for Windows
    ; See also the (STARTAPP) AutoLISP function for an alternative method.

    EXPLORER, START EXPLORER, 1,,
    NOTEPAD, START NOTEPAD, 1,*File to edit: ,
    PBRUSH, START PBRUSH, 1,,


    ; Command alias format:
    ; <Alias>,*<Full command name>

    ; The following are guidelines for creating new command aliases.
    ; 1. An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters.
    ; Commands with a control key equivalent, status bar button,
    ; or function key do not require a command alias.
    ; Examples: Control N, O, P, and S for New, Open, Print, Save.
    ; 2. Try the first character of the command, then try the first two,
    ; then the first three.
    ; 3. Once an alias is defined, add suffixes for related aliases:
    ; Examples: R for Redraw, RA for Redrawall, L for Line, LT for
    ; Linetype.
    ; 4. Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog
    ; box commands.
    ; Example: B for Block, -B for -Block.
    ;
    ; Exceptions to the rules include AA for Area, T for Mtext, X for
    Explode.

    ; -- Sample aliases for AutoCAD commands --
    ; These examples include most frequently used commands.
