    Solution: Draftsight Alias Commands not sticking

    My DraftSight alias list was empty and if I imported the included list or manually entered new ones, they would disappear when I closed the options dialog box or clicked 'apply'. Searching Google for "DraftSight aliases disappear" brought me to: "Draftsight Alias Commands not sticking"...
