need lisp for offset

[indigo]

I'm looking for a lisp routine for offset that allows me to enter 12 @ the command prompt and enables the offset to 12". I've used it before and works well for me, Too bad i don't know what happened to it. Thanks for the help............

How is that different from the standard offset command?

[indigo]

Rather than typing O (or whatever hotkey you use for offset) you bypass it by directly typing in the number of inches you wish to offset. So basically, the number you type is a shortcut for the offset command.

I know it exists somewhere, I just can't find it..........

(defun c:12 ()(command "offset" "12")(princ))

Add above line to your acaddoc.lsp file

Cool. Did it work for different numbers?

following "c:" you can type anything and "12" could be made into any distance. Just type any number.
