CarlB Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 In a lisp "command" function, use "pause" instead of a backslash: not - (command "linetype" "s" "continuous"\\) instead - (command "linetype" "s" "continuous" pause pause) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 You may also want to try (command ".-linetype" "s" "continuous" "") (command ".-layer" "m" "dim" "") the 2 double quotes "" act as an enter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
