CUI Problem

I created a command in the CUI (2014) with a macro that has the following ucsicon;or;ucs;3;_dimlinear; and I don't understand why when I run the command, it never runs the "dimlinear" portion of the command.

What am I doing wrong?

UCSICON OR expects a pt try UCSICON;or;pause;UCS

or

UCSICON;OR;('(0 0 0));UCS

Thanks for your answer but the Macro works fine all the way up to the completion of the "UCS 3 point" and then it stops. What is preventing it from continuing to the "Dimlinear" command?

I tried the Macro one line at a time and every single line works, except when they are together.

Any other ideas?

I don't understand the part

UCS;3

When I try that part, it seems AutoCAD is then asking for a new origin point.

What does your command line say when you run this macro?

What was happening was that the macro would do the following:

1. it would set the ucsicon to ON

2. it would set the UCS using 3 points

3. at this point it would stop without continuing to the dimlinear command.

I posted this problem in the Autodesk forums and I got an answer, the macro should say ^C^C_.ucsicon _or _.ucs _3 \\\_.dimlinear

We do a lot of dimensioning 3D piping fabrications and wanted to simplify the process of locating the UCS on the right plane for the dimension to appear and this macro now works.
