Can you create a button for a command?

[Siberian]

I use the "elev" (elevation) command quite frequently, but it's a bit annoying to have to type it every time, is there a way to maybe create a button for it or something using the customize user interface? I'm using AC2007

Try this link to Create a Custom Command by Ellen Finkelstein:

right click on one of the buttons...say the draw line button, go to customize (down the bottom) and create an new button bar under toolbars tab. and then you will have to name it. Once thats done you will see the bar pop up in the drawing page and then go to the command tab and pick and drop the ' new drawings icon onto your button bar that you have created. Then left click on the icon then write in the box that says "macro associated with this button write C^C^elev into it and there's your button.

Sorry its a bit long winded

You could create a command alias....
Pull your acad.pgp file into a text editor (notepad or wordpad)....you'll find the file in a path similar to this...
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007\R17.0\enu\Support
Go to the section of the file (right at the end) called -- User Defined Command Aliases --
Add the following line....
EV, *ELEVATION

Then whenever you want the command just type EV...... :)
