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.

What about if you already using the latest version? can you still find the ACAD.PGP on the same location as the previous one?. 

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.

For instance, there was one time that I want to put all drawing legends in my drawings in paper space. But the problem is in paper space I have to re-draw again all the necessary legends that I needed when in facts all legends are already drawn inside the model space. All I need is just to transfer it or copy it from model space to paper space.

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.

Usually when I encountered this, the first thing that comes to my mind is the questions, what will happen with the data that I am working on? will it be loss? or can I recover it without any damaged at all?. Especially when times I forgotten to save it.

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.).
