Button Macro Help

[ahefner]

I'm trying to use the following line in my button macro and it hangs after "E:" any suggestions?

-INSERT;"E:\2007.000.000\2007.012.xxx\_Elec Auto\BHB-LOGO.dwg";0,0;;;

From command promt after running
Command: -INSERT
Enter block name or [?]: "E:*Cancel*

Autocad interprets the "\" character as a "pause for user input". In other words, after that E: it's waiting for you to tell it what to do next. If you change the "\" into "/" throughout the whole string, it should help.

In macros the backslash works as a pause, so use forward slashes instead of backslashes in file names. And you need to watch how many arguments that are needed (I think you are missing a semicolon at the end).
