Description next to command

[wispoxy]

See image attached. How can I get a description next to my command? All help appreciated.

Have you tried adding the command to the CUI and editing it there?

Wow, did I really miss that? Let me check it out, I'll get back to you.

I cannot seem to locate my custom '17TS-A' command in CUI. The command was created as a lisp that I setup to run every time AutoCAD 2017 starts. It's branched off the acad2017doc.lsp file.

1)If you are customizing, don't change the acad2017doc.lsp.  That belongs to Autodesk. Instead add it to your acaddoc.lsp, in a trusted folder on the search path.

2)If you have a custom command that doesn't already exist in the CUI, you need to add it to the cui as a new command.  Then complete and test the command macro. Descriptions are a function of the CUI.

Ok, I'll get back to you.

That still doesn't do what I need it to.

See image attached. I want custom text in the brackets '( )'. Custom text, not the linked command / description. I was saying description in my first post as an example not knowing it's not a description, it's a linked command.

synonyms are editable on the manage tab, under the customization panel.  I am not sure that AutoLISP command qualify as true commands for these purposes.

Thanks for your help. I found an alternative, but couldn't have gotten there without your help.

Glad to help. Thanks for the solution credit and kudo.  Others might be interested in the solution you arrived at if different than my proposals.
