Adding scripts to toolbar / palette

[.chad]

I'm apparently a decade behind and just discovered scripting for CAD. I have a couple basic scripts that I'd like to add to a toolbar / palette / ribbon button but can't figure out how to make it call the script. I've looked through google and most of what I can find is a bit outdated

If there are more elegant solutions than script's I'm open to that too. Most of what I have are basic things like turning layers in X-Ref's off.

I'm using ACA 2011.

Do you want to call (open and execute) a script [.SCR] file or just include the script in the command itself?

For the latter, you can open the CUI and create a new command and then in the macro field, enter your script commands. Otherwise, open the CUI and create a new command that calls the ._script command and then the name of your script file.

Example
^c^c._script;c:/cadstuff/myscript.scr;

I'm partial to calling the .scr file. Is there an advantage either way, other than I can drop one on the network and grab it / use it on any workstation?

If I create a new command do I include the ^c bit or just input what I want? I actually did try doing that but it didn't work out too well.

Thanks.

Have it working other than one small hiccup - how do I reference a folder with spaces in the name? i.e. c:/cad stuff/myscript.scr
