ToolBar Menu Syntax

[eric.mcclellan]

I work between US units and Metric units/Drawings daily. Thus the need for the following toolbutton syntax (AutoCad 2000). When I "select objects" and pick one object, for instance a line or a circle, this macro works great. When I select a lot of objects (via window/more than one) it stops after object selection (first \). Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Use the Select command, then the Scale command on the Previous selection, e.g.:
^C^C._Select;\._Scale;_Previous;;\(/ 1.0 25.4);

Use the Select command, then the Scale command on the Previous selection, e.g.:
^C^C._Select;\._Scale;_Previous;;\(/ 1.0 25.4);

Unless things have changed recently "/ 1.0 25.4" won't work. Use "/ 10 254".

Hi

Take another look....

Robert used Real numbers in the LISP expression, therefore it works perfectly.

Have a good one, Mike
