    Question Make a button or command that draws Lines or Polylines with Layer information pre-set

    Can you make a button or command that draws lines or ploylines with layers and line types preset to them?

    What version of Acad are you using? If you are using release 2004 or later then you use the tool palettes to do this.
    Simply draw a line and assign its layer and linetype, then drag it onto a tool palette and hey presto - every time you use that tool it will now draw a line with the properties you specified.

    Pre Acad 2004 I'm pretty sure the only way to do it would be to use something like a lisp (although I'm often wrong). :cheers:
