Info

The format is: $M=expression Introducing the macro with $M= tells AutoCAD LT to evaluate a string as a DIESEL expression, and that expression is the DIESEL expression. The following example defines a conditional expression in a macro: FILLMODE $M=$(-,1,$(getvar,fillmode)) The macro switches the FILLMODE system variable on and off by subtracting the current value of FILLMODE from 1 and returning the resulting value to the FILLMODE system variable. You can use this method to toggle system variables whose valid values are 1 or 0. Termination of Macros That Contain Conditional Expressions If you use the DIESEL string language to perform “if-then” tests, conditions might exist where you do not want the normal terminating space or semicolon (resulting in ENTER). If you add ^Z to the end of the macro, AutoCAD LT does not automatically add a space (ENTER) to the end of the macro expression. As with other control characters in commands, the ^Z used here is a string composed of ^ (a caret) and Z and is not equivalent to pressing Ctrl+Z. In the following examples, ^Z is used as a macro terminator. ^C^C$M=$(if,$(=,$(getvar,tilemode),0),$S=mview _mspace )^Z ^C^C$M=$(if,$(=,$(getvar,tilemode),0),$S=mview _pspace )^Z If these macros did not end with ^Z, AutoCAD LT would automatically add a space (ENTER), repeating the last command entered.

System Variables FILLMODE Specifies whether hatches and fills, 2D solids, and wide polylines are filled in. Control the Display of Command Items The way a menu or ribbon button item is displayed indicates its availability in the program. A menu or ribbon button item can be displayed as: ■ Grayed out (disabled) ■ Marked with a check marker or border ■ Both grayed out and marked Ribbon button items do not display a check mark when marked; only a border is displayed. NOTE To disable or mark ribbon button items, the “~” or “!.” sequence cannot be placed before a command name explicitly; it must be inside a DIESEL expression. Gray Out (Disable) Menu or Ribbon Button Items You gray out a menu or ribbon button item by doing one of the following: ■ Beginning a name with a tilde (~) ■ Using a DIESEL string expression Ribbon button items only support the use of DIESEL string expressions. For more information about using DIESEL expressions, see DIESEL Expressions in Macros. When grayed out, the macro and submenus associated with the menu or ribbon button item are made inaccessible. In the following example, the tilde (~) is placed at the beginning of the Copy Link command label in the Name cell of the Properties pane. Control the Display of Command Items | 113
