I have a macro that i've been launching from a toolbar button. As of right now I have the project file loaded in the startup suite, and call the macro using something like this: ^C^C-VBARUN backgroundcleaner I would however like to create a toolbar button that provides a fully qualified path to the project/macro such that it can be loaded on demand without being in the startup suite. Using the -vbarun command and then copying in the whole thing on the command line works, but when i try to use the full path in the macro portion of the toolbutton like so: ^C^C-VBARUN "S:\PreProject Activity\ABS\Scripts\leaexpresstools.dvb!backgroundcleaner" it only gets as far as this: Command: -VBARUN Macro name: "S: Macro not found. Any ideas on how i could launch this macro from a toolbar button without first having the project loaded? Thanks in advance. -Chris
Try: ^c^c(defun c:runMe()(command "-vbarun""S:/PreProject Activity/ABS\Scripts/leaexpresstools.dvb!backgroundcleaner")(princ))
Hi, A slightly better approach is to use (VL-VBARUN As Juno suggested you have to use forward slashes either way. Also put a semi-colon at the end to ensure a carriage return. Spaces are not obvious. ^c^c(defun c:runMe()(vl-vbarun "S:/PreProject Activity/ABS\Scripts/leaexpresstools.dvb!backgroundcleaner")(princ)); -- Laurie Comerford CADApps www.cadapps.com.au
Excuse this, but I don't really follow what you're attempting to illustrate here. The menu macro you show, defines a command when the user clicks on the button/menu item that executes the macro. I fail to see the purpose.
