Is there a macro that could = Move / Copy / Rotate / Scale. The command in full autocad is mocoro in express tools. I only have LT right now and would love to create a similar command using a Macro.
thanks.

No Express Tools in LT.
The macro would not allow you to select a function to choose: macros are exactly like typing at the command line, how would you select SCALE if you start ROTATE command for example? or COPY while in the MOVE command?
I totally agree it can't be done in Autocad Lt, but if you want to do it anyway try this macro, You need to make your selection first, and it will only ask you to input a value, but if you enter either 'm' for move; 'c' for copy; 'r' for rotate or 's' for scale then Bingo (entering any other value should cancel the command).
*^C^Csetenv;choose;\$M=$(if,$(eq,$(getenv,choose),m),m,$M=$(if,$(eq,$(getenv,choose),c),co,$M=$(if,$(eq,$(getenv,choose),r),ro,$M=$(if,$(eq,$(getenv,choose),s),sc,^C))));last;;
Dean, I know that you answer these discussion group questions very cut and dry. I guess what I was looking for is something close to the MOCORO command. I understand that autocad lt cannot do what autocad can do but there are still other options besides saying it can't be done.
That's why there are these open public forums with all users here: Steve-G stepped up to the plate and created a macro for you. Like you, I don't know everything about everything, but pretty much good enough to be here helping out.
It's not MOCORO but a darn nice limited imitation of it.
AFAIK you can remove the check mark from my reply and add it to the above, you are in control. Enjoy the macro.
Dean,
It has been a while since I was in touch with you and you have always been very helpful and knowledgeable. I seem to remember that if you use grips then this action (Copy, Rotate, Move) was possible. BUT I have racked my brain and I cant get the move action to kick in.
If you drag a reverse window over an object and reveal the grips and then press the spacebar twice it toggles to Rotate option. Then press "c" to copy and "b" to choose a basepoint it will copy and rotate the object but it doesn't move it.
Am I dreaming or did I used to use this?
I have been away using Radan (delightful little torture that someone has invented) and am just coming back to AutoCAD LT. I hope you can help me here.
Am I right in saying that this doesn't move the object though? Once it is copied you have to "move" the copied object using move?
I think I am getting old and mis-remembering.
Thanks for the reply though - good to see your still offering your guru services to us mere mortals 🙂
