Quick Reference
Commands
CUI
Manages the customized user interface elements in the product.
Use Built-in Commands in Macros
To develop macros that use built-in commands that are part of AutoCAD for
Mac, precede each command with the period character (.). The period character
allows the built-in command to be used even if it has been undefined with
the UNDEFINE command making the macro predicable when it is used on
other systems that share the same customization file.
Quick Reference
Commands
REDEFINE
Restores AutoCAD internal commands overridden by UNDEFINE.
UNDEFINE
Allows an application-defined command to override an internal command.
Repeat Commands in Macros
You can use a leading asterisk (*) to repeat a command in a macro until you
choose another command.
Once you have selected a command, you might want to use it several times
before moving on to another command. In a macro, you can repeat a command
until you choose another command. You cannot use this feature to choose
options.
If a macro begins with *^C^C, the command is repeated until you terminate
by pressing Esc on the keyboard or by selecting another command.
NOTE Do not use ^C (Cancel) within a macro that begins with the string *^C^C;
this cancels the repetition.
