-DIMSTYLE opens also AutoCAD Text Window????

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

We made a macro for a button in AutoCAD (LT) 2000i. The macro =

^C^C-dimstyle;r;lpijl;-layer;s;010_maatvoering;;dimlinear

The macro works but the AutoCAD text window opens (same as pushing F2). It
appears with the -dimstyle command. This is very annoing because then you
can't easily place the dimlinear.

Does anybody out there know what I can do with the macro that the AutCAD
Text Window NOT appears?

Thanks in advance,

John van Eeten

I'm sure there is a way to keep it from popping up...
(Which I don't know of right now)

but until you figure it out...

add
(graphscr)
to the end of your macro to get back to the drawing.

Hope this helps...

Thomas Smith

Will that work with LT, since it has no lisp support?

Add 'GRAPHSCR (note the ' to make the command transparent) to the macro:

^C^C-dimstyle;r;lpijl;'graphscr;-layer;s;010_maatvoering;;dimlinear

It's no lisp, but a macro, also customization, i think.

(graphscr) is a lisp function.
