Can one create a bubble macro in Acad 2000 LT?

[dbp428]

I know LT does not support LISP or VBA.
I made a bubble pointer lisp routine a LONG time ago for AutoCAD 2000 full version.
It involved a leader command and a circle and trimming the leader to the circle somehow. And a text command. I don’t remember it exactly because it was 7 years ago. It also kept track of the number in a variable somehow so the next bubble had the next number.
I was wondering if one could stack together macro commands to do this in LT.
Or any other ideas. I am constantly making new drawings with lots of bubble pointers.
I am trying to talk them into Full version of AutoCAD.

No option for the auto-numbering without always resetting it
(to start or continue) separately, but while you wait for
others...

Are you using QLEADER command with the option of dropping a
block in place of text for your bubble/pointer routine? Or
if you have a current version of LT (2007 and higher),
trying out Dynamic Blocks for the task of bubble/leader
block placements? That way you can skip all that trimming
etc.

Here is what I'm doing right now in AutoCAD 2000 LT,
I have a Wblock with a number in it. The number is an attribute so it prompts after the insertion point. I would like to just add the Line command to it at the end.
here is that macro:
-------------
^C^C-insert "C:/Program Files/AutoCAD LT 2000/Sample Point.dwg";\;;;_Line
------------
But it puts the Word LINE in the attribute text and does not prompt anymore.

I would be OK to use a separate routine to do the number if it kept the number throughout the drawing session.

If I used SETVAR to set something I never use like CHAMFERC. How can I retrieve it and put it into a text command?

You need another to finish the block
insertion/attribute prompts perhaps.

QLEADER command, watch the command line, get into the
pop-up, explore using a block with it.

Dean, You wrote
"You need another to finish the block"
Another What?
; semicolon doesn't work
I tried a could of thing I either get the word line in the block or is skips the asking for the attribute in the block altogether.
I'm so close.
Thanks

here is my block?
^C^C-insert "C:/Program Files/AutoCAD LT 2000/Sample Point.dwg";\;;;_Line

[dbp428]

Did you want the actual wblock file?
here it is

[Anonymous]

^C^C_-insert;"Sample Point";\;;;\_Line if you want to reply
to the prompt
^C^C_-insert;"Sample Point";\;;;;_Line if you don't.

Not sure what you are trying to do otherwise... .

Thank you
Here is my final draft
^C^C-insert "C:/Program Files/AutoCAD LT 2000/Sample Point.dwg";\;;;\line;\\;

which allows me to pick a begin and end point to the line.
