tracking command in autocad

Anonymous

im trying to create a plot command, which is a modifing version of the old one that print automaticly. 

i have posted old question to get the "windows" command and i got the command :
-----------------------------

mr-_-small,

put this macro in your button...

 

^C^C-PLOT;Y;;;;;;;W;752.3389,680.5393;641.0157,524.6924;;;;;;;;;;

 

the best way is to write macros is using the command-line version.
of the command you want to use, and see how many enters are needed and the required options...

 

Hope that helps,

 

Henrique
-----------------------------

i want to know what is the commands referance for all plot options.

The command-line version of any command is the way it works at the Command: prompt line, without a dialog box for those commands that normally use one.  Type the command name with a preceding hyphen to suppress the dialog box, in this case:

 

-PLOT

 

and follow it through, keeping track of your responses to all prompts.  Put them into order as in hmsilva's suggestion, substituting a semicolon for every Enter required, including the ones that "register" the command name itself and each response with content such as the Window corners.  In many cases a space works the same as an Enter, but when you have several in a row, it's easier to count them in the macro if they're semicolons.  The ^C^C at the beginning may not always be necessary, but is the macro-language way to cancel any command that may be running when you pick on the menu item that holds the macro [typically done with two cancels that way, in case you're in a command that needs two to get out of it].

 

Run the macro, and if it doesn't work, look at the last prompt and/or the error message, and you should be able to figure out whether you need an additional Enter/semicolon somewhere, or one fewer, or a different kind of input somewhere.

Just to be clear, the hyphen does not suppress the dialog box. It is a convention to name the command line version of a command with a hyphen as the first character, but the hyphen has no special meaning.
