Hi, I'm trying to create an icon for my ribbon that I will be able to click and it will insert a certain block. I think that I need to create a command that will get the block that I need and insert it where I need it to go as for an example, I have created a block for a pipe going down. I would like to click the icon and to place the elbow of this pipe to show a pipe going down on plan.

I would like to click the icon to insert 1 block, so if I need to insert 2 or 3 I would need to click every time I need that specific block. for the x and y factor I would like it to scale together, so that if I scale to 100, they will both scale to 100 but I think I can fix that directly in the block. and for the rotation I would like set it every time I insert the block.

and for this to work, do I need to insert the block once in the drawing or do I need to put it in a certain folder of autodesk for it to find it. or do I need to mark the path of the block in this macro ? and thank you very much for your time and help.

The < \ > symbol is a pause for user input whereas the < ; > symbol acts like a return (i.e. - hitting the Enter key).  I'm pretty sure that's correct.

I have used *^C^C-INSERT;block name;S; so I click on my icon I decide on the scale then I click where I need the block then I rotate. exactly what I needed to do. this will cut the time of making my plans in half. I couldn't  of done without both of your help. thank you so much this makes my life a lot easier and I always love to learn new stuff :)
