Just upgraded from 2000 and checking my menu macros. I'm trying to insert some blocks with attributes, but the command line isn't prompting the user with the attribute prompts. I can still type in the text and the macro completes, but I just get a blank command line. The user has no idea what they should be typing in. Here's my menu macro: ^C^C-INSERT;L:/K-Oval;\(getvar "dimscale");;;\\\CHPROP;L;;LA;A-ANNO-SYMB;; The first "\" is for insert point which is prompted on the command line. The next three "\" are for user input of the 3 attributes. Here I just get a blank command line, nothing. If I type 3 values in, it will finish the macro successfully. Is there a new variable that controls this? ATTREQ is on; ATTDIA is off. Using INSERT directly on the command line to insert the block does produce the prompts. Thanks.

does it work if you disable dynamic input?

The prompts do show up at the cursor if dynamic input is turned on. When dynamic input is turned off (our preference) those prompts do not show up on the command line. I have experimented with DSETTINGS, but can never get the prompting to show up on the command line. During the routine, if I flip up the text window with F2, the attribute prompts appear there, but not on the command line. I've found that the text will scroll into the command line window after the routine is fully complete. Thanks for your input. Also, CMDECHO=1, MENUECHO=0
