Use quotes.

^C^C_id;\_setenv;mypoint;$M=$(getvar,lastpoint);_qleader;@;\;4;"($M=$(rtos,$(index,0,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1),$M=$(rtos,$(index,1,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1))";;

or

^C^C_id;\_setenv;mypoint;$M=$(getvar,lastpoint);_qleader;@;\;4;"$M=$(rtos,$(index,0,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1),$M=$(rtos,$(index,1,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1)";;^Z

In fact there are ways to solve this - e.g. the LT Extension add-on uses a lot of such Diesel macros.

All diesel macro are avaluated before executed.
So your getenv is evaluated BEFORE you clic. No way to solve this

So I'm working with AutoCAD LT and wanted to create a quick macro to label points on my drawing with the XY coordinates.

My macro SHOULD look like the following:
^C^C_id;\_setenv;mypoint;$M=$(getvar,lastpoint);_qleader;@;\;4;($M=$(rtos,$(index,0,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1),$M=$(rtos,$(index,1,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1));;

The idea is as follows:
  1. The user to specifies a point (_id;\)
  2. A variable is set with that point (_setenv;mypoint;$M=$(getvar,lastpoint);
  3. A leader is created with the first point at the location specified in (1) (_qleader;@;)
  4. The user specifies the final point and the mypoint variable is spit out in the mtext box. (\;4;.... the remainder of the code).
The problem I'm having is that "mypoint," though set correctly, isn't being recalled correctly. getenv seems to recall the previous state of "mypoint" only when using $M=$(getvar,lastpoint). If, however, I prompted the user to specify the variable value, getenv would properly pull it out and label the leader.

Perplexing.

My current workaround involves splitting the macro into two parts:
^C^C_id;\_setenv;mypoint;$M=$(getvar,lastpoint);
^C^C_qleader;@;\;4;$M=$(rtos,$(index,0,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1),$M=$(rtos,$(index,1,$(getenv,mypoint)),2,1));;

This works, but I have to hit two shortcuts instead of one.

Can anyone help me bring this macro into one? Am I the only one having issues with this macro?

Thanks.
