I wanted to test the Action recorder in Acad 2009, but I can't figure this out.
Here is what I wanted to record:

Extrude a closed polyline by 500 and afterwards I wanted to be promted to pick a face that had to be extruded by 300 with a taper-angle of 30°.

Here is what I've recorded:

Extrude
Select objects (Request User Input is on)
500
Solidedit
Face
Extrude
Select objects (Request User Input is on)
Enter
300
30
Enter
Enter

So when I play this Action, the height of the Face extrude command is for some reason ignored. And the 500-value of the extrude-command is used. The taper-angle works fine though.

Can anyone solve this problem?

If you removed the 'Enter' statement after the second 'Select objects' prompt would that help?

"If you removed the 'Enter' statement after the second 'Select objects' prompt would that help?"

No, it will not work, because Enter is necessary to close the command of selecting the faces that has to be extruded.
Moreover, you can't modify the text of your recording (as far as I know).

"Some Feedback"

I tried it myself here at work and did'nt like when i recorded it using text commands(keyboard input), and it failed for me. But when i use the ribbon bar with mouse and icon inputs to execute the commands it went through successfully. though i did go back into it and change to use user input under selections like the object and face. Could be a problem with the recorder and text commands though i didnt try them with the "_" as if i was using lisp.
