OK...admittedly I am not a command line/lisp/programmer type, but do OK with
scripts on occasion.
in attempting to create a customized tool, I have copied the duct add tool -
2x to create a "SupplyDuctTool" and a "ReturnDuctTool"
I understand that these are all custom commands - in particular the duct
tool uses
^C^C_AecbDuctAdd
interstingly at the command prompt is
Command: _AecbDuctAdd Start point or
[SYstem/SHape/SIze/Elevation/Offset/Match]: DBOX
Start point or [SYstem/SHape/SIze/Elevation/Offset/Match]: DBOX
Start point or [SYstem/SHape/SIze/Elevation/Offset/Match]: Next point or
could someone explain in 50 words or less:
where the two DBOX entries are coming from?
If I wanted to script this I would type something like
^C^C_AecbDuctAdd SY Return
with a space at the end of return
which gives
Command: _AecbDuctAdd Start point or
[SYstem/SHape/SIze/Elevation/Offset/Match]: SY
System name or [?] : Return DBOX
System Return DBOX not found.Start point or
[SYstem/SHape/SIze/Elevation/Offset/Match]: DBOX
Why does the custom command portion not let me put a space where it should
be to return the command back to the command line or dialog box? - when I
type the space where it should be in the custom comand and OK back to the
palette, then go back and check the properties, the space has been truncated
is there a piece I am missing or can I just not do this with the custom
command?
thanks
