Run a search on your system from the root directory for OM.LSP .... <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>It might not be a <EM>file</EM> called OM.lsp.&nbsp; If it were me, I would probably call the <EM>file</EM> something like OffsetMultiple.lsp, so I'd know what it was about when looking at file names, with the <EM>command name</EM> defined inside it as OM for short.&nbsp; But even that would only apply if it's defined in a file devoted to only the one command.&nbsp; It might rather be in&nbsp;the acaddoc.lsp file, or some other .lsp file that contains definitions of multiple commands -- looking at the APPLOAD history will show the <EM>file</EM> name, but <EM>not</EM> the names of commands defined within it.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>What you really should try to find is a file containing <strong>C:OM</strong> in it, because if it's an AutoLISP-(defun)'d command, that will necessarily be the command-name designation.&nbsp; The basic Windows Explorer Search function won't search for content within .lsp files as it will in .txt or .doc or some other file types, but there may be a way to add that file type to those that it will search within, or other means of searching for content inside files.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Then there's also the possibility that it's in some kind of compiled file format, such as .arx or .fas,&nbsp;that may not be searchable in that way at all (I haven't tried such a thing).</DIV><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Kent Cooper - 24.Oct.2013 at 16:55</span>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=414265">IMGrumpy</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 9745<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 23.Oct.2013 at 21:26<br /><br />At sometime in the past when using 2008 I came across the OM command, but I don't remember where.&nbsp; What this command does is as follows.&nbsp; OM enter returns in the command line OFFSET DISTANCE if you enter a distance and then enter it reurns SELECT OBJECT TO OFFSET then you select an object and enter which returns SELECT SIDE once a side is selected and entered it will ask how many times entering a number and then enter will offset the object by the distance the number of times requested.&nbsp; It is very handy and I use it a lot.&nbsp; Again I do not remember where I came up with this.&nbsp; For some reason this only works on my machine none of the other 14 in the office recognize the command, it worked on 2008 and when I upgraded to 2011 it still works, I am hoping that with the pending upgrade to 2013 or 2014 that it will continue.&nbsp; I have searched appload and cannot see where I have ever loaded it.&nbsp; Where does this command come from?&nbsp; Where did I get it?<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Thanks</DIV>]]>
