Macro on Tool Palette

Hello,

I have a question about macros on tool palettes.

If there is a button on a tool palette with this macro:

^C^C^P(command "_AecbDuctFittingAdd" "_ty" "cross")

after using the macro, if i right click on the screen, the shortcut menu appears, and if i look under "recent input", i will be able to see this (command "_AecbDuctFittingAdd" "_ty" "cross").

I am wondering if there is a way to give the maro a name to show in the recent input list, and if not, can the macro be hidden from the recent input list?

Thanks.

Create a new command using that AutoLISP statement in your acaddoc.lsp file (use the name you want):

(defun c:[color=blue]DuctFittingCross[/color]
(command "_AecbDuctFittingAdd" "_ty" "cross")
(princ)
)

and replace the macro by:

^C^C[color=blue]DuctFittingCross[/color]

This way the "name" DuctFittingCross will appear in list.

Great info

Hi, Thanks for your response.

Is there any other way besides making a Lisp file? Is there something that can be added to the macro that will create a display name, or hide that macro code?

Thanks again

Not sure that there is a way to accomplish your request - you may try to use the above as associated macro (even if is using AutoLISP also):

^C^C^P(defun c:DuctFittingCross (command "_AecbDuctFittingAdd" "_ty" "cross") (princ)) DuctFittingCross 

This way, at least, will avoid having an extra file to manage.

Regards,
