Description

T%CadToolChest-Alias is an AutoLisp Sub-Function, by CadToolChest, which functions within AutoCAD 2002, and later (possibly earlier). It provides a means to change the name of the CadToolChest AutoCAD commands.

The download ZIP includes two files. One is the AutoLisp program that is automatically loaded and called by the other CadToolChest AutoLisp programs. The other is a text file in which you define the name of the command you wish to substitute for the one provided by CadToolChest. Instructions are included in the latter file (CadToolChest-Alisa.pgp). The technique is nearly identical to that used in the ACAD.PGP file to define AutoCAD Command Aliases. In general, the name of the command to be replaced is entered on a new line in the PGP file, followed by a comma, a space, an asterisk, and finally the name of the command you desire.

For example:

3dP, *PIPE
3dRedEll, *RED

The second example causes the command name provided by CadToolChest for the 3d Butt Weld Reducing Elbow program to be RED. The original name, 3dRedEll, is not defined and will not interfere with other programs using the same name or with AutoCAD command Aliases.

Include as many name substitutions as required in the file. When a CadToolChest AutoLisp program is loaded into AutoCAD, it checks the PGP file. If a match is found for the command that would otherwise be produced, the substitution is made.

As with all other CadToolChest AutoLisp programs, these files must reside in the AutoCAD Search Path.

Syntax:

OldName, *NewName

Where:

OldName = The original command name provided by CadToolChest, suffixed with a comma and a space.

NewName = The desired command name, prefixed with an asterisk.
