Wanted to share some useful Macro's I've come up with

Hello all,

Apologies if you already know about these Macro's. I needed the fuctionality and thought others may need it to so decided to share them with you on here.

Macros for;-

Spline to Arc Polyline

^C^C_plineconvertmode;1;_splinedit;\_P;0;

Multiple Lines to Polyline & Join

^C^C_pedit;m;\\\_y;j;;;

Audit, Purge all & Quick-save

^C^C_audit;y;_purge;a;;n;_qsave;

Purge all, save dwg to dxf keeping file name the same

^C^C_purge;a;;n;_filedia;0;_saveas;dxf;v;r12;;$m=$(eval,"c:/tmp/acadfiles/$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname)",1,$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,dwgname)),4))_filedia;1;

I am sure to keep coming up with more useful ones and will post if I do. I hope these come in handy for other as much as they have for me.

Just wrote a macro to run a script file....I'm using full autocad and my coworkers are on lt so cant use autolisp routines. So i created a button for them that not only finds and runs the script file but automates the first selections of the routine. I was running a custom button for weeding polyline vertices out...

^C^C_pld;200;1;r;\;_x;\;;

pld being the PLDIET.lsp file....note that I changed the lisp to a script before the next step

Here's the macro I used to run the script

^C^C_filedia;0;_script;PLDIET;_pld;200;1;r;\;_x;\;;filedia;1;

Here's how you can modify it for any script

^C^C_filedia;0;_script;[i]enterfilenamehere[/i];filedia;1;

Again I hope you guys find this helpful.....

Glad I could help

I wonder how much use meet18 is going to get out of macros when he lists "not applicable" for what software he is using.

meet18 has been met.

meet met his maker?

Alas poor meet I never knew him well.

Maybe meat grinder would be better.

You should start reporting really strange posts like that, it will give the Mods a heads up on potential spammers.

I was waiting to see what was going to develop. Some new forum members are slow to fully introduce themselves. If I reported every strange post I came across I'd have to include 50% of mine!

Hello all,

I'll just go ahead and steal that! Now if I can only find out which ; is the fuzz-distance....

Thanks
