Help combing two macro's

[AndyC]

I have two existing working macros that i would like to combine together to form one, but am struggling to work out how to combine them. The first insets a block at a defined scale and rotation into the drawing. The second insets an incremental number.

CODE 1

^c^c-layer;m;"LB-T007-SET-OUT";c;WHITE;;l;continuous;;;-insert;"LB-setting-out-point";sc;25;ro;0;

CODE 2

^c^c_text;\;;$M=$(+,$(getvar,USERR1),$(getvar,USER R2));setvar;USERR1;$M=$(+,$(getvar,USERR1),$(getva r,USERR2));

It would also be great if this command would then repeat for consectutive mouse clicks until the command chain is ended.

What i want to end upwith is a command that inserts a block with an accompanying incremental ref number and to repeat this for number of repetitions


Any assitance would be mush appreciated

Renderman: The OP is using LT.

Haven't we seen this request in two other forms? It's deja' vue all over again.

... Ohhhhh! I completely overlooked that! :oops:

I'm still struggling to understand why anyone buys LT anymore. :?

I do not recall seeing this, otherwise I would have ignored the OP. :glare:

Unfortunately i am using Keyscape LT 2010 which is a Landscape Architecture package that runs on the back of AutoCAD LT and has had the LISP functions disabled.

The only way i am able to do this as far as i am aware is via the CUI interface and creating a menu bar button against which i can assign a macro.

I have done this indivudally for both codes but want to try and combine it together.

Here's one:

And here's the other:

And this is where it all started:

So we now have four choices as where to respond. Take your pick. LOL

I think the OP just got a bit carried away by the lack of response. Rather than "bumping" the original post he repeated it in a slightly different fashion. The first attempt I can understand but the next two really weren't necessary in my opinion. But as the wife says, "It is what it is."

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Fair enough, I'll follow your wise decision... in kind, I've deleted my post.

Whilst not being a user of Macros, I have been idly browsing, and one bit of information that I gleaned was that there was a limit of the number of characters on each line. I don't know whether this is still the case, but you needed to put a "+" at the end of each line to join it on to the next line of code.

If you're speaking in regard to the code in the OP, they are each on only a single line. They appear wrapped (on multiple lines) as a result of your browser windows size and/or screen resolution.

I was hoping that it was the answer to his query, as the combined length of both macros comfortably exceeds 80 characters.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, rather simply trying to clarify what I believe to be two separate topics. :)

I will take your word, as I don't have the time to look up the character length criteria, for myself. Perhaps someone smarter than I will come along to confirm/deny. The OP could certainly 'trim the fat' from his macros, even if they were to remain two separate commands:

For example, both of these have the same final result:



^c^c-layer;m;"LB-T007-SET-OUT";c;WHITE;;l;continuous;;;-insert;"LB-setting-out-point";sc;25;ro;0;



^C^C^P._-layer;_make;"LB-T007-SET-OUT";;._-insert;"LB-setting-out-point";_scale;25;_rotate;0;



... The latter example is also easier to maintain.
