Creating a command macro..


Recommended Posts

Posted

is this possible in ACAD 2010.

 

What I'm trying to do is create a button that will execute a series of specific commands.

 

I regularly have to count many different objects that i have inserted as block into a drawing.

 

At the moment this entails QSELECT then selecting from 5 drop down menus and a tick box. Repeating this 20 or 30 times on a single drawing is ridiculously tiresome.

 

Ideally what i would like to be able to do is is click this button, then select a block and ... bingo... quantity shown.

 

I can't imagine this would be too difficult, as all the values I currently have to select are the same with the exception of VALUE, which is determined by the object I subsequently select.

 

This is right outside my sphere of knowledge, as I only work at a fairly basic level with ACAD, so please go easy on me.

what's wrong with select similar?

Have you thought of using a palette? There you can do a lot of various types of customization and save yourself loads of time. Best thing since sliced bread, mate.

In addition to the other suggestions, look at the Express Tools "SSX" command.

You can still create command macros in ACAD 2010. What version did you previously use?

 

Does it have to be a macro?

 

I have previously posted on here some LISPs for doing this as well.

You can't macro something that isn't executed from the commandline.
