What kinda stuff do you automate?

[Tuns]

I can write a macro for it.

-Jesus;$M=$(getvar,flyingpig);;

 

That should do the trick.

I tried it and it didn't work maybe need to add (setvar pinkelephant 1)

A house waffle panels about 15 mins to draw and trim up all the lines and ribs with my lisp about 20 seconds. Just think of something you do over and over then ask here.

Wow, all the functions you guys are describing are amazing...

However I'm not sure the work I do is complicated enough to justify learning how to do LISPS...

 

When it comes to customization I altered my Home panel a bit and have made new CUI Aliases for stuff that I use often, and that seems to suffice for now... Beyond a Macro for cleaning a file, I can't think of anything I'd need to automate.

 

Could a LISP be used for DrawOrder? As in, I always want my Flooring layer to be below my Furniture layer?

This is like a Christmas Wishlist...

 

Could I create a Macro/Lisp that would be like a "Back" button (or like on a TV remote, the LAST button), where I could toggle between the last 2 places I'd been? (Aka Model and a Certain Layout I'm working on, instead of having to search each one out?)

You need a reactor program that remembers what layout you are in and stores it somewere then you would just use some simple keystroke to jump.

 

Here is a goto layout for lots of pages Model is 0 etc

 

(defun C:goto ( / lay num)
(setq num (getint "\nEnter tab number"))
(vlax-for lay (vla-get-Layouts (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(if (= num (vla-get-taborder lay))
 (setvar "ctab" (vla-get-name lay))
) ; if
) ; for
) ; defun
(C:goto)
