Claude,
Your English is great and much better than my French. I would suggest looking at Sheet Sets in AutoCAD as it sounds like you want to create new sheets with callouts. An excellent resource for Sheet Sets and call out objects is Heidi’s blog

To Whom it may concern,
Hi. I just got AutoCad 2008. I want to know how to make a toolbar that will draw a line and the layer that relates to it so all I have to do is toggle the toolbar button to get the line, color and line type all in one. I know this can be done because I used to set up Fastcad to do it and if it can be done in DOS, I know it can be done in AutoCad. My E-Mail address is bob1@alltel.net. Thank you for your time and efforts in this matter.
In God’s loving service,
Bob

Bob,
All you need to do is use your tool palette and then on the line command icon right-click and set the propereties you would like that line to be drawn such as scale, layer etc. You can create multiple line comands on the tool palette for different properties or specs.

Jon,
AutoCAD has come a long way since 2000 and now most use Tool Palettes as it allows you to silently enforce standards as well and more power. I am not sure many even realize the good power of Design Center beyond inserting blocks.
I am not sure you can do with a macro exactly what you want as there is not a keyboard method to set the folder in order to create the macro. In order to set the folder you need to open the ADC and then select the folder tab and then select a folder to set as home in the right-click menu. You could just set it once unless you are asking for multiple profiles then just call ADC in your MNU file.
I hope that gets you started. There is an excellent customization resource and that is the Autodesk AutoCAD customization discussion forum and the AUGI forums and the experts of customization hang out to help in there.

Hi
I have taught myself a few minor things about Macros and can create small macros but i was wondering if you could answer a few questions about them
One thing is that i can make a macro to save a DWG as a certain name like ”temp.dwg” but i am trying to find out how to do somthing like make it more dynamic ie. if i open a drawing called temp.dwg i would like it to make it save as the existing name and then ”REV1” as a suffix
But then be able to open another drawing ”tempxyz.dwg” and then, using the same macro, save it as ”tempxyzREV1.dwg”
Any help on this subject would be really helpfull as i am just starting to understand macro’s
thanks
Mike

Hello,

GR,
This is more than a script IMHO. I would suggest asking in places like Autodesk AutoCAD Customization forums (http://discussion.autodesk.com) or AUGI.com for pointers on developing a LISP file instead of a script.

I’m wondering how to create a macro that would do the following;
-create a circle
-measure the circle’s diameter or radius
-then create a text with the measurement
I think learning this would also assist me in creating many macros with this similar procedure.
Thanks
