Work easier with AutoCAD groups.

AutoCAD LT - unlike the full AutoCAD with its GROUP command - contains simplified versions of commands for manipulating object groups - PKFSTGROUP and QKUNGROUP.
Many users are satisfied with these quick and simple versions of the group commands and the full dialog-based command GROUP slows them down. In addition, for ungrouping you have to specify the name of a group.
So we have prepared a free LISP utility GRP.vlx with the commands GRP and UNGRP. It can be used as a replacement of AutoCAD LT's group commands. You can use CUI to assign the GRP and UNGRP commands to keyboard shortcuts (recommended: Ctrl+Shift+G and Ctrl+Shift+U), or add them to your shortcut menu (context).
Both commands accept also pre-selected objects (grip-selection). They use unnamed groups.
Export/import of user settings in AutoCAD.
If you want to transfer (export and import) settings of the the current user profile in AutoCAD, you can use the functions Export and Import on the Profiles tab in the dialog of the OPTIONS command.
You can export the settings and then import them - e.g. on another computer or from a backup - to/from a file with the .ARG extension.
This file contains the AutoCAD settings hive from the Windows Registry.
