Manages the customized user interface elements in the product.<br />

A macro defines the action that results when an interface element is selected.<br />

A macro accomplishes a drawing task that would otherwise take a series of<br />

actions by a user.<br />

Overview of Macros<br />

A macro can contain commands, special characters, and DIESEL (Direct<br />

Interpretively Evaluated String Expression Language) programming code.<br />

NOTE As AutoCAD LT is revised and enhanced, the sequence of prompts for<br />

various commands (and sometimes command names) might change. Therefore,<br />

your custom macros might require minor changes when you upgrade to a new<br />

release of AutoCAD LT.<br />

You add macros to interface elements by using the Customize User Interface<br />

(CUI) Editor. Select an existing command or create a new command in the<br />

Command List pane. Enter macros in the Macros section of the Properties<br />

pane. There are no length limitations for macros. However, you do need to<br />

know how specific characters are used in macros and be aware of other<br />

considerations or limitations.<br />

Macro Basics<br />

A macro in a user interface element can be as simple as a command (such as<br />

circle) and some special characters (such as ^C^C).<br />
