The macros in the following examples repeat the commands:
*^C^Cmove Single
*^C^Ccopy Single
*^C^Cerase Single
*^C^Cstretch Single Crossing
*^C^Crotate Single
*^C^Cscale Single
Each macro in the example starts a command and then prompts you to select
an object. Any other prompts necessary to complete the command are
displayed, and then the command ends and starts again.
NOTE
Command repetition cannot be used in macros for image tile menus.
Use Single Object Selection Mode in Macros
Single Object Selection mode cancels the normal repetition of the Select
Objects prompt in editing commands. After you select one object and respond
to any other prompts, the command ends.
Consider the macro in the following example:
*^C^Cerase single
This macro terminates the current command and starts ERASE in Single Object
Selection mode. After you choose this command, you either select a single
object to be erased or click a blank area in the drawing and specify window
selection. Any objects selected in this way are erased, and the command is
repeated (due to the leading asterisk) so that you can erase additional objects.
Press Esc to exit this mode.
Use Conditional Expressions in Macros
You can add conditional expressions to a macro by using a command that
introduces macro expressions written in DIESEL (Direct Interpretively Evaluated
String Expression Language).
The format is:
