I would like to know if anyone knows how to create a macro that can be toggled between 2 commands. That way I can make one button for any given "ON / OFF" situation instead of 2 buttons.

Matt · Guest

I would say yes, I have a few that do 2,3 or more commands..what were you
thinking?
for example:
^C^C_snapstyl;0;_polarang;45; that I use along with -
^C^C_snapstyl;1;_polarang;30;

What version are you on? A lisp may be better. I don't know that you can
actually make a toggle command but I've been wrong before. Would have to be
something that can check the variable then decide what to do next.

Hi Dean,

See my post above with the jpg. What I am looking for is the ability to put two commands on the same button TOGGLING from one to the other. ie; DISPSILH 0, the DISPSILH 1.

Do you know if this can be achieved? Thanx for your help.

madcadd · Guest

Thanx again Matt, but if I have to rely on a lisp, I'd just go with the two buttons. Just trying to conserve on real estate and avoid typing looooooooong words like dispsilh 'cause I aint the best on the ivories.

Jason Rhymes · Guest

Yes, and you can do it with any seemlier variable that you need to toggle.
Just change the obvious.

^C^C(setvar "DISPSILH" (- 1 (getvar "DISPSILH")))

^C^C(setvar "TILEMODE" (- 1 (getvar "TILEMODE")))

Jason beat me to it. Also you can explore the lisp function BOOLE,

(setvar "GRIPBLOCK" (boole 6 (getvar "GRIPBLOCK") 1))

Off topic: Stopped in Bridge City yesterday on my way back from the Space
Center. I thought I'd see a house with OLD CADaver on the mail box
somewhere. But I never did.

Rick Keller · Guest

Go with OLD-CADaver his wil toggle back & forth with one button.

Hi Jason,

Thank you very much. It works like a charm and I will be creating others by changing the obvious. Thank you!

What difference if any is there between your way and what OLD-CADaver posted just 21 minutes later than you? Would some commands lend themselves better with one way vs the other?

So you stopped in Bridge City yesterday on your way back from the Space Center and thought you'd see a house with OLD-CADaver on the mail box somewhere. But you never did.

You should have been looking for OLD-RANdall Culp on the mail box. ;-)

Hi OC,

Thanks for replying, but Jason beat you by 21 minutes and I already changed my macro and it works great.

What would you say is the difference between your way and Jason's?

I don't have time right now, but I will practice some with your method as well. Thanks again.

Nah that ain't on the mailbox either, back here it's just the road and
number. If you're out here, you know my name, if you don't know my name,
you don't need to be out here. Bridge City is the mail center, but I really
live well outside of town down on the bayou.

Lesee, Jason, if you were coming from Houston going though BC, you musta
been heading for "Bayou country" somewhere. Are you from Louisiana, or
further East? BTW, why in the world would you stop in BC? You musta been
buying gas or making a "pit stop" way out on the Interstate.

oops, forgot to answer the AutoCAD question... For toggling between two
options, there's nearly no difference in the two formats, boole may be
faster by a bazzillionth second but that's about it. Boole can be expanded
to in other uses to allow for a wider selection of operators.

Couldn't find much in the help file about it. Never used it before.
"Serves as a general bitwise Boolean function
(Boole operator int1 [int2 ...])"

I have some family in Port Neches and use to work at the Huntsman? plant
years ago when I did environmental work. I wanted to see what changed so we
took a detour down 87 to 82 along the gulf to see something different. I
live just outside of Lafayette in Duson La.
