Assigning Aliases

How do I assign an alias to a command that is NOT in the list?I would like to assign e.g. DDR to DDRECOVER, but I cannot find the DDRECOVER command i the list at the right side of the Aliase window.

  • What you could do is this:with the Customize>Aliases dialog create a new entry 'DDR' and assign a dummy command to it (eg ZOOM).export the aliases to an .ica fileedit the .ica file with a text editor like notepad and modify [Alias-250] Alias=DDR LocalCommand=ZOOM GlobalCommand=_ZOOMto[Alias-250] Alias=DDR LocalCommand=(command "DDRECOVER")save and close the .ica filein BricsCad use the Customize>Aliases dialog to import the .ica file

  • Thank you for quick reply. ;o)

  • Reviving a very old thread, but the original question is exactly mine, now. I'd like to assign aliases to various DM* and BIM* commands but they aren't on the list. Surely there's a better way, by now, than the solution suggested above?

  • The top line on the 'Command Aliases' tab of the customize dialog lists the pgp file in use - just open this file in an editor an add your shortcuts in the appropriate places, save the file and type REINIT for Bricscad to pick up the changes.
  • You can select from the list, but you can also 'manually' enter commands.
  • Oops, that's of course much simpler...
  • Actually I prefer editing the pgp file.
