Macro Repeats Last Command

[SwizzleStick]

I have a macro that is supposed to simply plot previous. Sometimes it repeats the previous or continues the previous command. Any ideas how I can stop the last command from continuing?

^c^c-plot;n;Model;Previous plot;00_THQ_Xerox6279.pc3;N;N;Y

What can cause the last command to repeat? {Enter} or in a macro, space or semicolon. My guess is that sometimes the space in 'Previous plot' is getting executed as a {Enter}. Try enclosing 'Previous plot' in double quotes.
^c^c-plot;n;Model;"Previous plot";00_THQ_Xerox6279.pc3;N;N;Y

I tried "Previous plot", 'Previous plot', and <Previous plot>. Those did not work. I am thinking the same thing, that it has to do with "Previous".

I didn't catch it the first time. It's been a while since I visited this subject. The prompt is asking for the name of a layout. You can't enter Previous Plot. The only way to access the previous plot is via code ( lisp, vba, .Net) or the plot dialog.

The macro does seem to be working. If I press CTRL+S and then run it, it works.

Oops disregard my last post. I was reading the prompts in the text window and misread. How are you running the macro? You sure you aren't getting an extra space at the end?

[SwizzleStick]

No, there's no space.

I am running it from a button in a custom toolbar. After opening and running the script, it typically opens the help menu.

Not sure why you are entering in printer information when all you are doing is using the previous settings?

I've got a macro to print previous and this is what it looks like:

^C^C-Plot;No;;Previous Plot;;No;No;Yes
