Davidjb Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just started using 2015 LT having used various LT packages. Does anyone know the correct macro command for selecting DIM commands which will automatically put them on a layer called DIMENSION. Previous commands in DIMLINEAR toolbar customisation after C C were _layer set dimension DIMLINEAR This doesn't seem to work in 2015 LT and the command seems to change with every upgrade. Hope someone can help with supplying the correct command - please email djb_bails@ntlworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZ Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Davidjb. Welcome to the forum! I find it easier using ";" exclusively instead of spaces in my macros. Otherwise it is tricky to know if you've closed out of, say the layer command properly. (It also makes macros easier to read on the forum if you wrap it in the Code Tag, the hash button between the speech bubble and the emoticon above the text editor.) It seems to me that your code breaks at the _Layer command: ^C^C_layer set dimension DIMLINEAR It is opening the layer properties manager. Try prefixing with a hyphen instead: ^C^C-Layer;Set;Dimension;;DIMLINEAR; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YZ Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You are most welcome. Glad it helped. A macro is also able to set the correct DimStyle, and restore the current layer after the command if any of that is of interest to you. Keep exploring and you'll find macros to be an essential companion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
