This is a true and funny story. Have you ever played a practical joke on somebody that was using AutoCAD? Like, turn off the PICKFIRST variable? Or press CTRL+0 as you were casually walking by their workstation? How about altering their PGP file? Last weekend, while I was working on my next training video, I scripted and recorded a section on how to edit the PGP file in AutoCAD. The PGP file defines the command aliases for AutoCAD. It lets everyone know that if you type L on the command line, that AutoCAD will start the LINE command. In the video I suggested that you play a trick on somebody and change it so that every time they type L, the Plot Manager opens! Today, working on my videos again, I kept typing L and the plot manager opens! It took me three tries until I remembered what i did, to myself! that might have been the first time I played an AutoCAD trick on myself!
Happy CADDING!
