I want a popup message to display after I use a command

[MikeP]

How can I make a message pop up after I use a command. for example I was playing around with the macro in the CUI screen, and now it pops up with "BOOM!!!" every time i click the explode button. how it functions is, I click the explode button, popup show, then it asked to click the object. how can i make it show the message after I explode the object?

Change the code to

 

^C^C_explode;\(alert "BOOM");

 

The \ will pause for user selection.

what an odd thing to do. granted, i when i first started with autocad at 18, i had toolbar button icons with: batman, krusty the clown, marvin the martian, etc.

You can put an * at the begining of the line to get it to auto repeat

 

*^C^C_explode;\(alert "BOOM");
