Macro to insert text block

[Lee Mac]

What are you typing at the command line?

 

For example, to run my LISP as posted in this thread:

 

• Copy the code in the code frame into a new Notepad document, and save the file as whatever you like, but make sure it has the .lsp extension and that the "Save as Type" box is set to "All Files".

• Go to AutoCAD and type "appload" at the command line, or go to the relevant menu. Find the saved LISP file and load it.

• Type "ins" at the command line to invoke the command.

Hope this helps,

 

Lee

Hi, you all.

 

This thread reminds me of when I started using Lisp, AutoLisp and VBA.

Hope I can be of some assistance in the future, I've just joined.

 

Good night everyone.

Ok I finally got it to work. I appreciate it Lee Mac. I must have been leaving out a step.

 

So is there a way to set this up as a button. Or will I have to go through loading it and typing "ins" every time I want to use it?

You can add the routine to the StartUp Suite in the appload dialog box, or your can add a call to it in your ACADDOC.lsp file.

 

To add it as a button, type in the macro box:

 

^C^C(c:ins)
