Aside from modifying your command thru PGP files which I already discussed it here, and here on where you can find it, and how you can modify it. There is also another way of modifying your AutoCAD command that is thru Command Alias Editor, which you can find under the Express menu, and under Tools. And from the command prompt type ALIASEDIT.

Have you, sometimes experienced forgetting the AutoCAD commands that you learned? worst is, forgetting it right from the middle of doing your work?. I do experienced it many times. Even now that I have been using AutoCAD for almost 13 years, I still forget some commands, especially those command that I seldom use.

Keyboard shortcuts, same as the command aliases can make our drawings finish much faster. Thats why it is best for us AutoCAD drafters, architects or whatever your profession is, as long as you are using AutoCAD on your work. You should know these keyboard shortcuts I’m trying to say.

There are times when you’re almost done, on finishing your drawing, but the only hindrance in doing so are some of the details on your drawing that can’t seem to fit all inside in one paper. And the only solutions you might think is whether you separate it on another paper or just re arrange it.

Sometime ago I’ve posted about modifying command aliases by changing it in ACAD.PGP, and also where to look for it. As what I have post, ACAD.PGP can be found on the support folder of the AutoCAD program folder. But that is applicable if your still using the previous version of AutoCAD, say AutoCAD 2002, AutoCAD LT or 2004.

Probably one of the most exciting sub-tools of the express tools is the change space under the layout tools. This tool, allows you to transfer any objects from model space to paper space or vice-versa.

As an AutoCAD user for some period of time now, I have encountered so many problems involving data losses, data corruption and damaged drawing files. Which trigger when the AutoCAD that I am using encountered a program error, system error or a windows manager failure. And to some point an, unnoticed power failure.

It is safe to say that some advance users of AutoCAD, regardless of what releases of AutoCAD that they uses are using modified command aliases or command abbreviations. Some users also have their own personalized set of command aliases that they prefer to use it over the default command aliases available on AutoCAD. These aliases are usually the frequently used AutoCAD commands (eg. Line, Dimension, fillet, Trim, etc. etc.).
