[amgirard2003]

Good morning all,

I'm currently doing some work that is quite repetitive with 2 commands that is really drivin my crazy having to execute both and would like to combine them together.

here's the code in plain english of how i would like it to work

Code: [Select]

Prompt user: "Select object to edit"

if object select, varify it has object data before continuing
if object does not have object data
prompt user: "selected object does not have object data"
end command

if object selected has object data
execute ddedit command to modfiy text
once text is modified
execute ADEEDITDATA, modify all the data.

once ok is selected return to original prompt
enter twice to exit command

any help would be greatly appreciated...

I have AIM so send me a pm if you would like to help me out and i'll reply with my AIM username

I don't have time this morning but some clarification is needed.

Prompt user: "Select object to edit"
  What action is no object picked, exit?
if object select, verify it has object data before continuing
   Is there a specific block name
   Is there a specific Tag name?
if object does not have object data
prompt user: "selected object does not have object data"
end command

if object selected has object data
execute ddedit command to modify text
once text is modified
execute ADEEDITDATA, modify all the data.
  What is ADEEDITDATA

once ok is selected return to original prompt
enter twice to exit command

I think they are using autocad Map since a reference was made to object data
