Action Macro: Line by Point Range Errors Out

[Echosolace]

Hi,

I've recognized the need for macros in my process and I am having trouble with using them with the line by point range command. 

I've stripped the command down to 3 points to try and identify what the problem is but still no dice. I record, type line, press enter, followed by 'pn, enter, type in the points, either 1-3 or individually, press enter, then double escape, then finalize the macro. 

When I run it, this is what happens:

I have added Pause for User Input for every item in the macro and it hasn't changed the outcome a bit. 

The idea I am pursing is to have a macro set up a property boundary line. So far I've gotten my macro to create new layers and import points, but drawing between those points via the macro is where I am having trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone understand my plight?

It looks line the Action recorder does not like the 'PN transparent command. Probably because it calls another hidden command in the background.

I guess I should just accept this as a software limitation then? Any advice?

What you are trying to accomplish with the recorded macro could likely be done with lisp or a .NET custom tool. I've found that trying to use the Action Recorder with C3D command and objects usually is an exercise in futility.
