Inserting blocks with macro

[m_rogoff]

I am using a macro to draw a recctangle, convert it to a RevCloud, then insert a block "Delta". I need to insert "Delta" at the current dimscale. I have tried several different dimscale equations, but none seem to work (near the end of the macro, highlighted red).

Thanks in advance

^C^C_layer;m;S-REV\;-layer;c;1;;;Rectangle;\\;^C^Crevcloud;o;l;n;^C^C_layer;m;S-REVISION;c;5;;_-insert;delta;_scale;$M=$(*,$(getvar,dimscale),1);\;;

$(getvar,DIMSCALE)

I haven't used Diesel enough to trouble-shoot that, but [unless you're using LT] you can include certain AutoLISP expressions in macros.  Try:

...  _-inse​rt;delta;_scale;(getvar 'dimscale);\;;

Is the delta Block one that's defined for only uniform scaling?  If not, you'll need another semicolon at the end for [assuming you want] the default 0 rotation.

I also wonder about the backslash after the Layer name near the beginning....  Is that supposed to be another semicolon/Enter, with two of them completing one Layer command, and then another Layer command following?  You can make the Layer and set its color all within one Layer command:

_layer;m;S-REV;c;1;;;

Hi m_rogoff,

any of the following macros should work as expected

^C^C_layer;m;S-REV;c;1;;;Rectangle;\\revcloud;_O;_L;n;^C^C_layer;m;S-REVISION;c;5;;;-insert;delta;_scale;$M=$(*,$(getvar,dimscale),1);\;

 or

^C^C_layer;m;S-REV;c;1;;;Rectangle;\\revcloud;_O;_L;n;^C^C_layer;m;S-REVISION;c;5;;;-insert;delta;_scale;$M=$(getvar,dimscale);\;

Hope this helps,
