I have an macro that plot an PDF.. my problem is that If i have to use the Plot in Windows. it stop working.
it is possible to have the user select the windows and get the code/marco continue after that?
[That "macro".]
Yes, you can have User input in a macro, for certain kinds of input, with a backslash \ character. For instance, to draw a Line between two User-selected points and then end the command:
^C^C_.line \\;
The User picks points to answer the command's prompt at each backslash.
Whether you can use that for Plotting may depend on exactly which inputs you mean.
Does "it stop working" mean that it worked before, and now it does not? If so, post your macro contents.
What meaning of "Windows" are you talking about? Plotting window areas in the drawing? Using the Windows Operating System's file navigation to specify the file name and/or folder location? Do you mean you need to be in the Plot dialog box for part of the command, but not all of it? If so, which parts? Something else?

Not knowing what your context is, I tried a macro that just starts a PLOT command, which uses the Plot dialog box, and after Plotting is complete [with any option(s), window or otherwise], continues, in this case just something simple -- to ask for two points to draw a Line. This worked for me:
^C^C_.plot _.line \\;
How are you doing it? Can you use this approach in whatever you're doing?
