Spaces in macro's

[frankowen2]

I am trying to make a macro to turn a specific layer on, and the layer name has spaces in it. The CAD manager doesn't want me to rename the layer, and the macro won't work with spaces in it. Anyone know if there is a workaround to this?

Thanks,
Frank

Try using quotations ("Layer name") around the layer name.

Hi Frank

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD 2006 General Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

I assume you are structuring your macro something like this:

^C^C-layer;on;"test layer";;

If so simply add quotes around the layer name as I have done.
