    Default Multiple command macro within pulldown menu

    i am trying to xref a fastener into my drawings and then the symbols right behind it as i used to use the insert command and it worked fine. the following is the macro i am using the first x-ref comes in but not the second

    ^C^C-XREF A S:/fastener/f1; ^C^C-INSERT S:/SYMBOLS/FASTMARK ;;;2

    i the process of using the xref i noticed this (Xref "f1" has already been defined.
    Using existing definition.) the whole i reason i wanted to get away from insert command to bring blocks into my drawings was to make sure i would get the current drawing and not some duplicate definition. Or does it only use a duplicate of the block through xref when the block has not been altered.

    anyway if somebody knows what is wrong with my macro it would be greatly appreciated as i have about a 1000 macro to fix and need to get going

    Hi

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD CUI Menus forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    Are you saying the above command macro does not work ?

    If yes, try this...
    Code:
    ^C^C_.-XRef;_A;"S:/fastener/f1";\;;;_.-Insert;"S:/SYMBOLS/FASTMARK";\;;;
    If no, please give more details.

    Are you saying Xref "f1" is already Xref'd into the drawing file before you attempt to run your command macro ?

    Have a good one, Mike
