A macro defines the action that results when an interface element is selected.

A macro accomplishes a drawing task that would otherwise take a series of

actions by a user.

Overview of Macros

A macro can contain commands, special characters, and DIESEL (Direct

Interpretively Evaluated String Expression Language) programming code.

NOTEAs AutoCAD LT is revised and enhanced, the sequence of prompts for

various commands (and sometimes command names) might change. Therefore,

your custom macros might require minor changes when you upgrade to a new

release of AutoCAD LT.

You add macros to interface elements by using the Customize User Interface

(CUI) Editor. Select an existing command or create a new command in the

Command List pane. Enter macros in the Macros section of the Properties

pane. There are no length limitations for macros. However, you do need to

know how specific characters are used in macros and be aware of other

considerations or limitations.

Macro Basics

A macro in a user interface element can be as simple as a command (such as

circle) and some special characters (such as ^C^C).
