Add applications' functions (LISP) to toolbars/shortcut keys - Is this possible?

pedro_cruz — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:51:35 GMT

Hello,

I cannot find my functions defined in one already loaded app to add them to toolbars or shortcut keys.

Is this possible?

The CUI does not allow me to pick up these, so I can only call them using the Command line.

Is there any alternative to speed up the process?

Please let me know.

Many thanks.

Have you tried looking at the help for the app?

Oh, yeah, one more question.

What app is it?

@RobDraw: Very poor subject description (my bad). I have edit my post to include the word LISP. So, you write the code, you load it and you wish to run it. So far I could only do it using the Command line writing teh name of the functions. Is there any quicker alternative?

@pedro_cruz Adding commands (LISP or macros or just core command functions) is described in HELP in AutoCAD/LT, but here is an online tutorial with lots more pictures https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-New-Command-on-Autocad
And if you need to dive in more (like creating custom panels etc.)

And then, since it is the year 2023, more online to help yourself can be explored here https://www.google.com/search?q=autocad+tip%3A+how+to+add+a+command+to+cui

Happy Cadding!
