Button Macro to insert blocks
Button Macro to insert blocks
(OP)
Hi
I wonder if someboy could help
Iwant a button macro for AutoCAD 2004 , so I can insert blocks from my hardrive without bringing the insert dialog box up
In the older visions of AutoCAD I used the following and the block came in
C^C_insert C:/CLAYTON/RIBBLE/FBOX.dwg
If I try this on 2004 it just brings up the insert dialog box
Thanks for any help
Stanoone

Then change the macro to read:
CODE
Note: Make sure there is no "space" after the last apostrophe or it will act as an enter.

I have used your macro and it does just what I want.
Thanks again

there's no need for moving the block into the supportpath.
Example:
^C^C_-insert;e:/library/yourblockname.dwg;^Z

Besides, if you have different folders for the different blocks you have, such as electrical, structural, etc., you do not have to point your macros to different folders, just put the paths in the "support path".

RE: Button Macro to insert blocks
ok, You are right. I looked at Stanoon's example ("C^C_insert C:/CLAYTON/RIBBLE/FBOX.dwg ") That's a macro for inserting one and the same block...
