I have a question regarding AutoCAD LT macros in regular AutoCAD. To summarize a problem I'm having, I need to be able to set values to the Registry in regular AutoCAD using "setenv" as I do in LT (Paul Turvill showed me how to do this on 10/03), but then continue with the macro to process the value. My examples below use a number value, but I need to do the same thing with strings. In AutoCAD LT 2000, I use the following macros to calculate a value to the current SNAPANG (watch for wrap): ==================== [Add]^C^C_ucs _r md _setenv CalcAngle \_snapang $M=$(+,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle)) [Subtract]^C^C_ucs _r md _setenv CalcAngle \_snapang $M=$(-,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle)) [Multiply]^C^C_ucs _r md _setenv CalcAngle \_snapang $M=$(*,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle)) [Divide]^C^C_ucs _r md _setenv CalcAngle \_snapang $M=$(/,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle)) ==================== I have two steps in the LT macros above: a) adding a value b) processing the value. ==================== "[Add]^C^C_ucs _r md _setenv CalcAngle \" (adds the value [could be a string in other macros]) "_snapang $M=$(+,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle))" (processes the value [in this case changes the SNAPANG]) ==================== In regular AutoCAD 2000 (and thank you again, Paul), I can use... ^C^C(setenv "CalcAngle" (getstring "CalcAngle Value: ")) ....to add the value. But in regular AutoCAD, I can't add to the macro and make it process anything. For example... [Add]^C^C(setenv "CalcAngle" (getstring "CalcAngle Value: "))_snapang $M=$(+,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle)) ....doesn't work. Any suggestions? Note: There may be an easier way to do this in regular AutoCAD; however, resolving this issue while keeping the macros similar to AutoCAD LT is very important to me, and may help me solve a few other similar macros (not all dealing with numbers).
Calification: ======== Please disregard the "_ucs _r md " in my previous examples (an internal thing). For clarification, I need the regular AutoCAD equivalent to this LT macro which adds a value to the Registry and then calculates the current SNAPANG using that value: [Add]^C^C_setenv CalcAngle \_snapang $M=$(+,$(angtos,$(getvar,snapang)),$(getenv,calcangle))
