 Topic: Makro; Farbe nach Befehl wieder ändern
Posted: 25.Feb.2011 at 07:35 |
Good morning everyone
Thank you for your suggestions.
I think I create a new layer for my construction lines as mentiond from John and HAWDesigner.
CarlB: your solution works for one time, second time it stops underway. But it gives me an idea of commands in macros.

l'll give a suggestion for what you'd like to do and let others advise you what's "proper".
After the "xline" command, you need 2 pauses (backslashes) for the 2 pick points, then an enter to end it. So something like:
^C^C_-layer;se;0;;-farbe;253;_xline;\\;_-farbe;vonlayer;

It is not good practice to override your layer properties like color and linetype. Do what we have suggested.

If you want the color of your construction lines to be 253, then I suggest putting them on a layer with the color dedicated to 253. (As I just realized John also suggested.  ) You cannot change the color of a layer, draw an object on that layer, then expect the objects to remain that color when you change the layer color again. Unless, of course, you hard color the objects, in which case, you're not changing the layer properties, you're changing the object properties.

Why not create a new layer for your construction lines rather than putting them on layer 0? That should solve your problem.

Hi HAWDesigner
If it was that easy 
The construction lines have to be in color 253.

Mike

Hi John
You got it!
This is what I want. I tried it with the command "-farbe; vonLayer" it means the active layer.
Regards
Mike

If you don't want the color to be 253, then remove it from the steps, no?

So all you want to do is change the color back to "white" (the original color of layer 0) after you have drawn your Xline using this macro?

Hi John
I tried to write a macro which does the following steps:
- chang the Layer to Layer 0
- change color to color 253
- start the xline command
- after i have drawn the xline the colour should be set to the color of the actual layer (layer 0 here)
If I don't do this step, the color is set to 253 even when I chenage the layer for a new line...
The last command to change the color back to actual layer doesn't work. Is there a way to implement this command in this macro or do I have to do somesthing else?
Thank you
best regards
Mike
