CAD tip # 7051:
Question
A
The ALIASEDIT command in AutoCAD allows to define new shortcuts (aliases) to internal commands and define (create) new shell commands. For the shell (OS) commands you have to specify a "Flag" (a number from 0 to 15).
This flag is a bit combination of:
- Bit 1: if set, AutoCAD does not wait for the application to finish
- Bit 2: if set, the application is run minimized
- Bit 4: if set, the application is run as hidden
- Bit 8: if set, the argument string has to be quoted
E.g. 11 means: run minimized, do not wait to complete, parameters are quoted.
