Customizing user input during command execution

Hi Friends.,

I need some one who guide me in creating a customization

The details.

I regularly use some input values like 800, 750, etc... during execution of commands like move, copy...,

I need a customization, whenever the distance value is required, a button or dialog box has to be displayed with predefined values (800,750). when i click the button those value has to be transferred to the command prompt.

Hope some one will answer and thanks.

regards

Can create a new button and on Macro field input "870" - this will send to command prompt that value; unfortunately will be quite tricky to control the mouse position related to current location (and therefore displacement direction) when use that button.

Hi

Thanks for the help. We can handle the direction movement by entering the @800

You are right – but this way will have to make a button for each displacement multiplied with desired directions:

Create a right-click menu with all your options, then under Mouse Options in the CUI editor, add the newly created menu to the Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click (whichever one you don't use to access the OSnap menu).

This will also give you the option to use it within a LISP routine.

Just for fun, here's an option. Set your point values where I have it marked in red (I just put a few random examples).

The popup will display at the cursor position.

(defun c:PV (/ valLst val)

 (setq valLst '((800 750) (0 0) (10 10)))

 (if (zerop (logand 1 (getvar 'cmdactive)))
   (alert "Must be called transparently!")
   (if (or dos_popupmenu
           (alert "DosLib required. Please download and install.")
           (progn (command) (command "_.browser" "http://www.en.na.mcneel.com/doslib.htm"))
       )
     (if (setq val (dos_popupmenu (mapcar (function vl-princ-to-string) valLst)))
       (nth val valLst)
     )
   )
 )
