;  AutoCAD Program Parameters File For AutoCAD Release 14
;  External Command and Command Alias Definitions

;  Copyright (C) 1997 by Autodesk, Inc.

;  Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches 
;  the support path and reads the first acad.pgp file that it finds.

;  While AutoCAD is running, you can invoke other programs or utilities, 
;  such Windows system commands, utilities, and applications.
;  You define external commands by specifying a command name to be used 
;  from the AutoCAD command prompt and an executable command string 
;  that is passed to the operating system. 
	
;  You can abbreviate frequently used AutoCAD commands by defining 
;  aliases for them in the command alias section of acad.pgp.
;  You can create a command alias for any AutoCAD command,
;  device driver command, or external command.

;  Recommendation: back up this file before editing it.

;  There is a bonus application for editing command aliases as well as 
;  a sample acad.pgp file with many more command aliases.
;  See the bonus\cadtools folder for more details. 


;  External command format:
;  <Command name>,[<DOS request>],<Bit flag>,[*]<Prompt>,

;  The bits of the bit flag have the following meanings:
;  First bit (1): if set, don't wait for the application to finish
;  Second bit (2): if set, run the application minimized
;  Third bit (4): if set, run the application "hidden"
;  Bits 2 and 4 are mutually exclusive; if both are specified only the 2 bit is used.
;  The most useful values are likely to be 0 (start the application and wait
;  for it to finish), 1 (start the application and don't wait), 3 (minimize and don't
;  wait), and 5 (hide and don't wait). Values of 2 and 4 should normally be avoided, 
;  as they make AutoCAD unavailable until the application has completed.

; Command alias format:
;   <Alias>,*<Full command name>

;  The following are guidelines for creating new command aliases.
;  1.  Try the first character of the command, then try the first two, 
;         then the first three.
;  2.  Ignore "DD" at the beginning of a command.
;  3.  Abbreviate the following prefixes: 
;        Examples: 3 for 3D, A for ASE, D for Dim, I for Image, R for render.
;  4.  Once an alias is defined, add suffixes for related aliases: 
;        Examples: R for Redraw, RA for Redrawall, L for Line, LT for Linetype.
;  5.  An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters.
;  6.  Commands with a control key equivalent, status bar button, or function key 
;        do not require a command alias.
;        Examples: Use Control-N, -O, -P, and -S for New, Open, Print, and Save
;  7.  Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog box commands.
;  8.  Exceptions to the rules include AA for Area, T for Mtext, X for Explode.
