Trying to create a grips toggle button

[tlr156]

I am trying to transfer the few customized toolbars, & menus our company uses from LT '02 to LT '06. I noticed we had a button that was supposed to turn toggle the grips on & off, however it only manages to bring up the "grips" command at the command line & you have to input "1" or "0" & "enter" to change the current setting. Is there some sort of "getvar" or other language I can use for the "Macro" portion of Properties in the CUI to have a single button toggle the setting or will I need to make one button to turn them on & one to tun them off to avoid using the keyboard?

Thanks,
Scott

What was the original macro for that button?

setvar;grips;$M=$(if,$(eq,$(getvar,grips),0),1,0)

Rough translation:
If getvar,grips equals 0 then setvar,grips to 1 else 0

Dean, the original macro was just ^C^C_GRIPS, which launched the grips command at the command line, & you had to manually enter 1 or 0. Whoever set it up originally had not completed the macro.

Conny, thank you, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I've been "out of the loop" for several years, & seem to have forgotten everything I used to know about AutoCAD customization.

That's funny, I've been out of the loop for a while as well 🙂
