If you mean a lisp routine to a button, then yes. It can be done a couple of ways depending on how you wish to load your program.

Tool Palettes

[keiths]

Hi pBe, Sorry ! Can you please expand on this...

[BIGAL]

There are basicly 4 ways to add a button, use a pull down menu, use a toolbar, use a ribbon menu or use a tool palette.

 

Which would you like to use ? then we can explain more.

i would like to use the tool palette... the lisp routine is below.

 

(defun C:mebc5 ()

(command "measure" (entsel) "B" "C" "Y" 5)

)

If you have already put the lisp routine into your startup suite (the button in the bottom right-hand corner of the APPLOAD window), then you can create a command through the CUI command. When you create this custom command ("Command List" section of the CUI window), you will want to put the following in your Macro (under the "Properties" section of the CUI window):

 

^C^C_MEBC5

 

After you have done this, you can drag the new command to whatever tool palette you want within the CUI window.
