The .pgp file has all the goods on

[SouthernDrafter]

The .pgp file has all the goods on quick commands. How about the hotkeys? i.e. F1-10, combos with Alt and Cntrl...? Where are these files kept and what are the names, and most of all, are they customizeable?
Thanks in advance.

These are kept in the mnu files. You will need to study a little before you understand how acad uses these but it is not too hard.

Just to add one more thing.
The "F-Keys" can only be modified in the "ACAD.MNU".
It's not like you can make your own custom menu and load that.
.
Just food for thought ....

I am very familiar with the acad.mnu files. Our company uses one that I have modified extensively over the years. So, give it to me between the eyes- I'm ready to get started.

Hey Guy,,,,
I recall reading about the F-Keys in Lynn Allen's book "AutoCAD : Inside & Out". And I attended a seminar headed up by her. So that's how I know that bit of info ...
.
According to her it can only be done in the "ACAD.MNU", .
In the "ACAD.MNU", there should be a section "***Accelerators".
.
I have AutoCAD 2002 and I see it at the very very end!
To edit the F keys or add a "shift" key shortcut, just type a new line like so...
.
["F3"]'zoom;2x
[Shift+"A"]^C^CArc
.
The format seems like the same format already there ....
I've tried it but I've never been able to get it to work. But then again my company is so standardize that it runs several scripts to keep everyone's interface to look the same. So, I don't know if it's me or the info.
.
Give it a try and let me know.
.
Sorry in advance if it doesn't work.
.
Later guy.
R.

You're right. I figured it out. Thanks yall for the help!

Gee, I'm glad I didn't know it could ONLY be done in the ACAD.mnu before I did it in several other menus.

I don't even load acad.mnu. I have a heavily customized main discipline menu loaded, and then two or three other custom menus for client preferences, MENULOADed on top of that one. Each menu has a set of accelerator keys defined. If the key is not defined in the previous menu, it's definition is accepted from subsequent menuloads.

You're right Cadaver...(nice name)lol.

It can be handled in the acad.mnu file, but like you, I have several other "add on" menus, so I just handled it in one of those. Still works out the same.

Thanks yall.
