Custom button for a circle tan to 3 lines

The command line routine circle, 3p, and tan will let you place a
circle tangent to 3 lines.

Trying to assign this command to a custom gui button has me stumped.

What is the exact text sequence one must assign to this custom button
in order to get this routine to work?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

 

Are trying to make a "routine" as is LISP routine,
or are you just trying to make a "macro" for a custom toolbar button?

If it's the latter, just type everything you would at the command prompt,
but substitute a semicolon for each "ENTER".

If it's the former, post what you have.

 

^C^C_circle _3p _tan \_tan \_tan \

Finally figured it out, but before I saw your reply. It is a "macro".

I assigned the routine to the custom button with the line....

^C^C_circle_3p_tan \_tan \_tan \

It now works as intended. Perhaps the slash works like your
recommended semicolon.

The use of a semicolon as an enter key is a new one on me. I will play
around with that one.

Thanks!

 

No. In a macro the semicolon stands for an ENTER, the slash stands for a
pause for an user input. In a LISP you need another syntax. Therefore
Michael asked if you need a macro or a LISP.

Err, isn't it backslash for "wait for user input"?

That I wanted say. Excuse my bad english.

Same thing, Juergen. Your English is terrific. I would have said 'pause' too
(from LISP).

 

Ohh, I didn't mean to be picky about the "pause" vs "wait" phrasing.
It was the "slash" vs "backslash" typo. Sorry for the confusion.
