Topic: how do I cancel a cancel (^c^c)

[uncoolperson]

so say i want to make multiple take menu macros, but those generally start with "^C^C" and that cancels the multiple command.

more clearly i want to run multiple and then click on some toolbar buttons.

any ideas....

I think you are stuck as you can not override the ^C^C
As I see it your choices are
Edit the button command removing the ^C^C
Use the abbreviated command at the command line
or create you own buttons , maybe a Multi-Flyout menu

Hi

Take a look at

*^C^C

Have a good one, Mike

this is from the AutoCAD help menu

Code: [Select]

You can use a leading asterisk (*) to repeat a command in a macro until you choose another command.

Once you have selected a command, you might want to use it several times before moving on to another command.
In a macro, you can repeat a command until you choose another command. You cannot use this feature to choose options.

If a macro begins with *^C^C, the command is repeated until you terminate by pressing ESC on the keyboard
or by selecting another command.

Note Do not use ^C (Cancel) within a macro that begins with the string *^C^C; this cancels the repetition.

The macros in the following examples repeat the commands:

*^C^Cmove Single
*^C^Ccopy Single
*^C^Cerase Single
*^C^Cstretch Single Crossing
*^C^Crotate Single
*^C^Cscale Single
Each macro in the example starts a command and then prompts you to select an object.
Any other prompts necessary to complete the command are displayed, and then the command ends and starts again.

Note Command repetition cannot be used in macros for image tile menus.

Too bad I can't use it for macros like this:

Code: [Select]

^C^Ccht;\\;j;ml;\

You may however be able to do it this way, using the tjust command, I don't know if that is a 2004 command though.

Code: [Select]

*^C_SELECT;\TJUST;P;;ML;

Hey, right on!  Well, that's three of my buttons taken care of.  Now, to investigate a little more to see what else I can update.

I've had those for so long, I've never really bothered to check to see if I could change them!

Thanks!
