Record an Action Macro
The Action Recorder can record most of the commands that can be used from
the command line and from the user interface elements that you are already
familiar with.
Record an Action Macro with the Action Recorder
You use the Action Recorder to record commands and input values for an
action macro.
While recording an action macro, the Red Recording Circle icon is displayed
near the crosshairs to indicate that the Action Recorder is active and that
commands and input are being recorded.
While recording, commands and input that is entered at the command line
are recorded with the exception of commands that open or close drawing
files. If a dialog box is displayed while recording an action macro, only the
display of the dialog box is recorded and not the changes made to the dialog
box. It is recommended that you do not use dialog boxes when recording an
action macro. Use the command line version of the command instead. For
example, use the -HATCH command instead of the HATCH command, which
displays the Hatch and Gradient dialog box.
