Hi guys, I have a feeling this might be a simple answer, but I can't find it ;) ... Is it possible to have 2 different aliases for one command, where each alias will put the item to different layer? Example - "R" for rectang will create rectangle in current layer, color etc; "TB" will create rectangle in layer "Text Box" in given color. Is there a way to use this in the (amazing) "Flay" tool? Thank you |

This is not possible with standard commands as FLay reacts to internal command names (not aliases). But it is quite simple to prepare simple LISP (or Menu) macros for such behaviour - even without FLay. E.g.
