Is this similar to my other question on by layer commands?  (http://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10160&PN=1&title=custom-command-macro-help)

So I need to create a .lsp to run these and then inject the loading of that command into acad2013.lsp?

You don't say how you made it into a custom command.  What you have would be appropriate to a menu item button in various places, but if you want to be able to type PLS at the Command: prompt, you need to define it using (defun ...), and within that, you can't use the macro-language form you posted.  It would need to be something like [I don't have the station-offset option, so you'll need to check the correctness of the option entry]:

(defun C:PLS ()
  (command "_.pline" "'so")
)
 
That should leave you in the command, at whatever prompt comes after selecting that option.

Does Civil 3D have the Macro Recorder feature?

PLS would be my keyboard command for the station offset poly line command

pl - to get a polyline started
'so - to have it function as a station offset polyline

PLS would be what I'd call the command.

What does PLS stand for?

Why isn't it written as ^C^C_PLS

Am I thinking of this correctly?

^C^CPL 'SO

When I make that into a custom command with PLS as the command name, it says "PLS" is not a valid command.

What am I missing?
