LAST COMMAND

Hello,

Is there some way to SET the last command? I have a program that has a
button to insert a block using utility.sendcommand.
Problem is that i want the user to be able to hit return to repeat last
command (the command that brings up the dialog)
Of course ACAD thnks the return is to repeat the Insert command which is not
what i want.

thanks for any suggestion

There's no way to set the LAST command, and this is one
of several problems associated with the SendCommand()
kludge.

However, AcadX (at the URL below) does provide advanced
command line functionality (the ability to define your
own commands, and execute AutoCAD commands without the
use of sendcommand), and solves this and a number of
related problems.

See the included InsertDemo.zip sample for details.

 

I think you want to:

.Hide your dialog
.Sendcommand
.Show your dialog.

That will bring the dialog back up to where it was before the button
was pressed.

 

try calling the routine using a lisp command added into the acad.lsp file.
then use that command in the button.

example: add this to the acad2000doc.lsp [or what ever your current version
is, ]

(defun c:"keybord command here"()
(command "-VBARUN" " name of routine here ")
)
