Repeating any command

[LightCutter]

If you want to repeat a command (like fillet) over and over without restarting the command, add the asterik (*) before the command macro in the CUI.

For instance, "*^C^C_fillet" as the command macro will repeat the fillet command until you cancel out with the escape key.

Have fun.

You can also type multiple before starting a command (if ya don't want to edit your macros).

And, in your example, wouldn't the asterik have to come after the ^c^c?

Nope. Put the asterik before the macro, I copy/pasted the exact macro from my Fillet command in my CUI.

Hmmm... interesting. I would have thought the ^c^c would have cancelled it out.

Thanks for the tip and the clarification :)

Hi

Plus see THIS thread.

Have a good one, Mike

Here goes some statutory warnings from AutoCAD Help.



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

2. Macro repetition does not work for items in image tile menus.

Try this one:

*^C^C_dimlinear

It will let you keep dimensioning until you hit escape.
I often create my objects and then finish the job with
several dimensions. One command does the trick!

is there a command that i can set in the pgp file that would let me use FILLET M just by typing F

No. The pgp file does not support command options.
You could put it on a button as a macro though.
