Macro using same base point as previous command

[Anonymous]

I would like to create a macro that moves previously selected object and uses same base point as previous command. Is this even possible?

@ will recall the last point clicked on a screen: otherwise you will need to specify the point you want to use more specifically with a pick using coordinates (predefined) and an osnap-activated selection.

Share a more detailed example of what you are trying to do.

If you can use a routine that incorporates the Move together with the previous command, it's pretty easy to have it save that base point and re-use it.  Otherwise, the possibility of using @ [or (getvar 'lastpoint)]  would be affected by just what the previous command was.  If it was something like Move or Copy, then @ wouldn't get you the base point from it, but the destination point, which will be later.  If it was something like Rotate or Insert, then @ would get you the base point.

The macro at this moment:

$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_move,^C^C_move;previous;;@;)

The sequence works fine when I do it without the macro (by typing for example), but then I use the macro, it just moves to the left. I'm really new to Autocad macros, so help is needed.
