SETENV in macro autocad LT 2013

[N13L5]

I used the following marco in autocad LT 2010

^C^C_setenv;StartWithNumber;\_setenv;TextInFront;\

In autocad LT 2013 it stil works but i cant see what I'm doing.

The text StartWithNumber isn't shown in the command bar, but when I type in a value its works and

TextInFront is shown in the command bar , but when I want to give it a value only the first letter of wat I'm typing is shown. When I use a second macro that works in combination with this one I can see that the values I give the variables are correct so the macro works but I can't see what I'm doing.

Is the Command Window just too small perhaps?

[N13L5]

No, I'm using the new Style commandbar. Tried the old commandbar with 3 rows in the display and still don't see the variablenames.

the macro runs on ten computers and on all of them the variables names aren't visible.

if you hit F2 key to get the text screen, do you see what is missing?

[N13L5]

No I don't see the variables

I try to explain what is happning:

-I click the button with the macro (the commandbar is blank, nomatter what I do (F2 , make it larger) it stays blank )

-then I type a number and give enter

-Now everything is visible ( before the enter I couldn't see what command was active)

-type in de value for the second variable. (only the first letter is shown, for the rest I can't see what I'm doing)

- enter

A couple of screen shots would do wonders in helping to show/explain what's happening

I think someone with ready access to LT2013 can test this without a screenshot, the description is pretty clear: I can't right now so I have no ability to do so.

If the isssue as described can be repeated, there will be no end-user fix as the problem is a core LT2013 inability to echo the macro in the text screen. It will need to be reported as a bug.

SWAG: MENUECHO perhaps? Initial value: 0

Sets menu echo and prompt control bits.

The value is the sum of the following:

1	Suppresses echo of menu items (^P in a menu item toggles echoing)
2	Suppresses display of system prompts during menu
4	Disables ^P toggle of menu echoing
8	Displays input/output strings; debugging aid for DIESEL macros

[N13L5]

Tried the menuecho, no changes.

Can someone test this in LT2013?
