Macro to move object to specific coordinates with user input base point

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a MACRO that will

-move

-select all

-allow for user to select a base point

-move objects to coordinates 71'-0,1'-0,0

This seems close:

^C^C_DYNMODE;1;MOVE;_all;;\;71'-0,1'-0,0;DYNMODE;3;

almost works, but instead of moving the objects to those coordinates it just moves them to a seemingly random coordinate.  

Thanks!!

I assume that's taking it as a relative-to-the-start-point displacement, in a newer version of AutoCAD.  Try it with the force-absolute-coordinates # prefix:

^C^C_DYNMODE;1;MOVE;_all;;\;#71'-0,1'-0,0;DYNMODE;3;

Alternatively, it may work to set DYNMODE to 0 rather than 1 [I'm at my older-version location at the moment, so I can't try that].

Thanks Kent, but adding # before the coordinates still didn't send the objects to the right place,

BTW I'm using AutoCAD 2016

Solved the Macro.  Macro doesn't recognize the # symbol to prompt absolute coordinates so you have to preset the DYNPICOORD to 1 in the macro before the move command.  This is the solution:

^C^C_DYNMODE;1;DYNPICOORDS;1;MOVE;_all;;\71',1',0;DYNMODE;3;DYNPICOORDS;0
