Customizing progeCAD

You can tailor many aspects of progeCAD to better suit your needs. For example, you can easily create and modify toolbars by simply dragging and dropping icons. If you want to restore any area of the user interface back to its default state, click Reset. progeCAD stores your customized settings in the Windows registry; you can also store them in a separate file, called a profile.

progeCAD supports the most important AutoCAD customization files, including linetypes, hatch patterns, text fonts, the unit conversion file, menus, toolbars, and aliases. In addition, progeCAD unifies four AutoCAD customization functions with a single cui command: command aliases, keyboard shortcuts, menus, and toolbars.
