Command Macros Not Working.

[cloweRE8TC]

I've been using my own commands for years to change layer, change dim style & start the dimlinear command with the press of a button, for some reason they have stopped working properly in that the layer does not change anymore.

This is a typical macro behind one of buttons:

^C^C_-layer;m;Dimensions_Model_Space;;-dimstyle;;CMS-MSpace10;^M;graphscr _dimlinear

Not sure why this has stopped working, -layer should start the layer command, m should be make or make current, and Dimensions_Model_Space is the required layer.

Instead all my dims end up on the layer Dimensions.

Are you perhaps not aware of the DIMAYER variable setting? I don't see you addressing it in your macro

Thanks I wasn't aware of that variable, & having edited into one of my macros has fixed the problem.
