Anyone got one handy they could email?
Also, does it go in the support file of Carlson? It's been a few years since I've wanted to change hot keys and can't remember the details of how I was able to accomplish it before.
Here are the particulars of the ACAD.PGP file:
>; Program Parameters File For AutoCAD 2010
>; External Command and Command Alias Definitions
>
>; Copyright (C) 1997-2009 by Autodesk, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
>
>; Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches
>; the support path and reads the first acad.pgp file that it finds.
>
>; -- External Commands --
>; 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.
>
>; -- Command Aliases --
>; The Command Aliases section of this file provides default settings for
>; AutoCAD command shortcuts. Note: It is not recommended that you directly
>; modify this section of the PGP file., as any changes you make to this section of the
>; file will not migrate successfully if you upgrade your AutoCAD to a
>; newer version. Instead, make changes to the new
>; User Defined Command Aliases
>; section towards the end of this file.
>
>; -- User Defined Command Aliases --
>; You can abbreviate frequently used AutoCAD commands by defining
>; aliases for them in the User Defined Command Aliases 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. To ensure that
>; any changes you make to PGP settings can successfully be migrated
>; when you upgrade to the next version of AutoCAD, it is suggested that
>; you make any changes to the default settings in the User Defined Command
>; Aliases section at the end of this file.

>; Examples of external commands for Windows
>; See also the (STARTAPP) AutoLISP function for an alternative method.

etc.
To use the file with Carlson Survey with Embedded AutoCAD, you'd need to rename the file to SURV.PGP and place it somewhere in the Carlson Survey with Embedded AutoCAD search path:
>; Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches
>; the support path and reads the first acad.pgp (surv.pgp) file that it finds.
I hope this information helps.
