Custom commands

[OMEGA-ThundeR]

hi,

 

I would like to make custom commands. I think that i can do that in the CUI (with the same command), but what i don't know is how to make an new command.

 

For starters i would like to make the command "pej" for "Pedit > Join" and "pec" for "Pedit > Close"

 

When i want to create an new command i see an textfield (macro) that says ^C^C .

 

How do i know what those things mean?

I don't know any commands that do a sub command with 1 key/command, otherwise i could check on those how its build up.

 

Thanks in advance.

For the new command just right click on a tool bar button and go down to customize, from there right click on one of the list items and click new command.

 

For the macro command text try the following:

 

Ok go to google and type

 

Autocad 2000 Customization guide, you the link you need to look at is the first one that has introdiction in front of it. That will be a pdf.

 

The second one is Tailoring-AutoLISP-DCL-Diesel, if you are looking for that just send me a private message and I can help you with that one.

 

I hope this helps. Read the first link I sent before you reply so you can see what questions you have after that.

Look in your help file as well. Run a search through your help file for "Create Macros" This page should explain the syntax and contain the link to the page for the special control characters.

Does 2009 still include the Alias Editor? It modifies the acad.pgp file (if that's still used)

Sorry thinking of Acad.lsp

 

; (e.g. enter ZW for zoom window)

 

(defun c:zm () (command "zoom"))

(defun c:za () (command "zoom" "a"))

(defun c:zw () (command "zoom" "w"))

 

(defun c:pej () (command "pedit" "J"))
