copy multiple macro

[rboudreaux]

Hey, guys,

 

I am using Autocad 2013. Presently, my COPY command will copy only once. I want to change it to where it will hold the copy and make multiple copies of the same selection.

 

Is this making any sense?

 

Thanks,

 

Rich

After selecting the object(s) to COPY, the command line should present the mOde option, at which point you can select single or multiple mode.

[rboudreaux]

Nestly,

 

I am aware of this. I want to change my macro so I will not have to go back and select the object each time. I want to make multiple copies of the same object.

 

Thanks

So you're looking for COPY to do something other than what's shown below?

[rboudreaux]

That is exactly what I am looking for, but presently, I can only make one copy of an object then I must go back to my COPY icon to make any more copies of that same object.

[nestly]

Here is the macro from "vanilla" AutoCAD, if you want to compare it to your macro, but be aware that mOde within the command is still what determines whether it's single or multiple mode.

 

$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_copy,^C^C_copy)

Am I missing something here, isn't this the copymode variable needing setting to 0. Or is it different in Civil3D

[nestly]

Thanks Steven, COPYMODE is the sysvar name for the mOde option within the COPY command.

Civ3d no probs copy copy copy ........

We use civ3d 2013 and when we do a COPY it just lets us continually copy as many times as we want. Our copymode is et to 0

[rboudreaux]

Bigal,

 

My COPYMODE is set at 0. The problem must be in the macro string.

 

Thanks,

Nestly showed you what the macro is, did you compare and fix if necessary?

[rboudreaux]

Robdraw,

 

It is working OK now.

 

Thanks,
