Topic: Macro help?

[craigr]

I have a couple of different macros that work -

^C^C_snap;off;Change;\;p;c;blue;;
&
^C^C_snap;off;copybase;0,0;\;erase;previous;;Z;extents;Snap;on;pasteblock;0,0;z;previous;

The first is used to simply change a words color to Blue.
The second is used to copyclip then pasteblock into the same location.

I use these to make a word blue and stay that way unless someone explodes the block. (the word is usually 'NOTE ##').

When I combine these 2 macros into ONE macro, it craps out after changing the word to Blue.

What am I missing here?

When you're 'troubleshooting' any macro, your F2 button is your best friend.  It's mine, anyway.  The command line will show you exactly where the macro gets hung up.

I agree.

I know WHERE is is hanging, I just can't figure out why.

For the objects you're selecting to copy, are you doing a window or a single object selection?

try using P for previous seletion set...

try using P for previous seletion set...

That and an extra ; did the trick.

^C^C_snap;off;Change;\;P;C;blue;;^C^C_copybase;0,0;P;;erase;previous;;Z;extents;pasteblock;0,0;z;previous;

Thanks
