rboudreaux Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey, guys, I am using Autocad 2013. Presently, my COPY command will copy only once. I want to change it to where it will hold the copy and make multiple copies of the same selection. Is this making any sense? Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 After selecting the object(s) to COPY, the command line should present the mOde option, at which point you can select single or multiple mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudreaux Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nestly, I am aware of this. I want to change my macro so I will not have to go back and select the object each time. I want to make multiple copies of the same object. Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So you're looking for COPY to do something other than what's shown below? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudreaux Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 That is exactly what I am looking for, but presently, I can only make one copy of an object then I must go back to my COPY icon to make any more copies of that same object.

nestly Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Here is the macro from "vanilla" AutoCAD, if you want to compare it to your macro, but be aware that mOde within the command is still what determines whether it's single or multiple mode. $M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_copy,^C^C_copy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Am I missing something here, isn't this the copymode variable needing setting to 0. Or is it different in Civil3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks Steven, COPYMODE is the sysvar name for the mOde option within the COPY command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Civ3d no probs copy copy copy ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudreaux Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Bigal Please explain. Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We use civ3d 2013 and when we do a COPY it just lets us continually copy as many times as we want. Our copymode is et to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudreaux Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Bigal, My COPYMODE is set at 0. The problem must be in the macro string. Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nestly showed you what the macro is, did you compare and fix if necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudreaux Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Robdraw, It is working OK now. Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
