that's the answer I was after!
haven't used macros with this CAD version yet, but thanks for explaining how. piece of cake for a simple function like this.
 
cheers

Since you are using a full version of AutoCAD why not use the Action Recorder found on the Manage tab to record two simple macros?]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:39:09 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6029&PID=15645&title=easy-shortcut-question#15645 <![CDATA[easy shortcut question : don&#039;t really care if they...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6029&PID=15642&title=easy-shortcut-question#15642 Author: germanbarry

don't really care if they have the same effect... whichever is easier to implement I suppose?]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 07:55:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6029&PID=15642&title=easy-shortcut-question#15642 <![CDATA[easy shortcut question : A macro and a lisp are not the...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6029&PID=15630&title=easy-shortcut-question#15630 Author: John Connor

A macro and a lisp are not the same thing.
 
Which do you want to have/use?

no I couldn't.... but I'm guessing YOU could!!? ;-)
 
not really sure how to do this, but could I somehow make an additional entry into the acaddoc.lsp file to get this shortcut happening?
I wouldn't know where to put it, or what exactly the code should be, but if that's an (easier?) option, then advice on it would be also appreciated!
 
is the acaddoc.lsp file called exactly that if I'm using 2011 version? I can only find this lisp file:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ACA2011ENU\Support\acad2011doc

hi all
I am often switching between world coords and vertical coords. at the moment to do this i type in UCS > W and UCS > V, which requires a total of 6 keystrokes (including enter key) to make the switch.
 
if i want to make a shortcut for these commands to simply be UV and UW (halving my keystrokes), does that require a lisp, since it's not a stand-alone command name change, rather the command AND its subsequent sub-command?
if not a lisp, how do I do it?
 
sorry if this is a n00b question.
