These are the listings of the key macro's that have been defined
in key.lsp and several associated lisp files, the lisp file name
is typically the same as the key press.

Use the space bar for the return after typing the command.
Key Press Description
a............................arc
ar...........................array
b............................break
bl...........................block
c............................copy
cbs..........................change block scale (lisp routine)
I wrote this one when I called up a drawing
and all the blocks were out of scale and needed
to be scaled down while maintaining the insert
points. It has come in handy since then, so I
thought I would include it.

supplying the answers for the
kee menu.
newtab.scr..............................configures the tablet the first
time a new tablet is needed.
compress.scr............................this script file is used with the

routine with caution some users
have said it bombs when used with
any aec products. Do not use this
menu software with any other menu
template software.
get_it.scr..............................this script file is created when
executing the gf(getfile).lsp
\
1.scr...................................to be used to open a new drawing
i.e. Acad new 1, from the dos
prompt.
2.scr...................................same as above only open an existing
drawing.
3.scr...................................same as above only enters the plot
option and goes to town. Make sure
your parameters are set, cause this
one does not ask questions. Drawing
must be supplied also.
i.e. Acad dwg-name 3
18.scr..................................used by plot.lsp to plot at 1/8"
scale. Again set your parameters up
first, once the questions in plot.lsp
have been answered, it plots.
this will be updated soon so look
for this to auto set your pens.
14.scr..................................same as 18.scr for 1/4" scale.
f and fit.scr...........................same, plot to fit.

****miscellaneous notes****
Menu files:
Two menu files have been provided one for a c: drive set up ( ckee.mnu )
and a d: drive set up ( dkee.mnu ).
***********************************************************************
Please note that the door routines are accessed by the tools section of
the pulldown menu!!!!!
***********************************************************************
Misc. Files
A file called keeline.lin has been included, this file has some extra fine
line difinitions in it (check it out).
****************************************************************************
CNS.LSP and DNS.LSP are block replacement routines for changing an existing
symbol into one that you are more comfortable with. These were added at the
last and as far as I know they work only to change an existing symbol in the
kesym1 directory. CNS is for a C drive set up and DNS is for a D drive setup.
****************************************************************************
\
Drawing environment set up:
To set up your drawing environment use the pop down 'setup' to start
a new drawing answer the prompts and it should do the set up.
The symbol library is currently being updated to add more and to clean
up some symbols, and to add some 3d symbols. I have tried to put
together a complete package but I know that despite my best
intentions, I am sure there are some things I am not aware of.
I can take it. Let me have it. If you feel the desire to help
in the creation of a new and inexpensive alternative to the high
priced menu systems currently available, criticism is needed, help
or support is vital. Any help with lisp routines, and other aspects
of the menu are greatly appreciated.
