comcu Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hi, How do you create custom commands in Autocad LT that runs from the keyboard eg you press the letter “Q” on your keyboard and space and a macro for a circle at Ø50mm is drawn? I know how to write macros’s but can only get them to work from tool palettes or a custom button? I also don’t want them to work of ctrl + …. Etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyke Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't have access to LT at the moment, but could you not do this using the acad.pgp file. If I remember correctly there is plenty of information and explanation in the acad.pgp file to get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I think the pgp file only allows for Autocads built in commands, and not custom commands, we cannot even try and adapt an existing command in the CUI and try and get round it that way.

ReMark Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Could always create a custom toolbar and populate it with buttons for your custom macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
