how to repeat FILLET command

[rchalmers]

I've made a new command and assigned it the following macro: *^C^Cfillet . I made a toolbutton and put the macro into that. This keeps repeating the fillet command until I hit ESC. I tried plugging this macro into the FILLET command that comes with AutoCAD but it doesn't work there. I do not understand why that is. Why does it work on the new toolbutton I made but not when I put the exact same macro into the FILLET toobutton that came with AutoCAD?

That's the first part of the question. The next part is, how do I get the command to repeat when I use a the keyboard shortcut F instead of using the FILLET toolbutton.

Sometimes I want to use the keyboard shortcut and sometimes want to use the toolbutton. In either case, I want the command to keep repeating until I hit ESC.
Thanks.

(A) What do you mean exactly by "made a new command"? Do you mean a new command in the CUI and you assigned this command to a Ribbon button, or a toolbar button?

(B) What do you mean by "I tried plugging this macro into the FILLET command that comes with AutoCAD"?

(C) The[*] to repeat only works with menu macros. If you want to repeat a command at the command line, run the MULTIPLE command first.

Actually, what I want to do is make it so that whenever I type F for FILLET I want the MULTIPLE option. Is there a way to make it so that when I type F it always gives me the multiple option without my having to type F then M?

In the enteprise cui modify the fillet command and add "M" for multiple in the command string. Also modify the toolbutton in the cui in the same way. Macro scripting the command will work too but is dependant on the keyboard shortcut matching, and might be better handled as a lisp routine, and a "Setvar".

F is the default Command Aliases for the FILLET command. Only one command per Command Aliases so you cannot set F to MULTIPLE FILLET as that would be two commands. You could define F as a function with lisp in acaddoc.lsp. Untested, but maybe:

 (defun c:F() (command "MULTIPLE" "FILLET"))

Try this code. You can add any type of radius needed. It may help.
