Two versions of the copy command

[itacad]

Good morning, is it possible to have two separate copy commands?
- I would like the first one to have the multiple copy mode always active
- I would like the second one to have the multiple copy mode always deactivated

 

Thanks in advance

CO = Copy

 

CO > Select Objects (if none already selected) > (O (mOde) to change the mode if desired) > M (for Multiple if mode is Single) or S (if mode in multiple) > Select location(s) to copy to.

 

COPY
1 found

Current settings:  Copy mode = Single
Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde/Multiple] <Displacement>: m

Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde/Multiple] <Displacement>:
Specify second point or [Array] <use first point as displacement>:
Specify second point or [Array/Exit/Undo] <Exit>:

 

Not sure any method to really speed that up.

 

But, the answer to your query is YES!

 

Create a toolbar with the above steps, make shortcuts.

 

Or probably better create a LISP with shortcuts.

Thanks, I will study your directions!

Hi, I've been thinking about what I would like to do.
I would like to duplicate the copy command (and the move command) in this way.
I would like the clone of the Copy command to have the snaps deactivated when I am in the Paste phase, as if I had already pressed SNAP None (_non).
In practice I would like to make a button for the Copy command "clone" and when I press it this sequence should happen:
Copy "clone"
Select object with snap activated
Paste with snap none
End
What should I write in the Macro line after ^C^C?
I tried ^C^CCopy_non but it doesn't work, if this solution is possible, what should I write?
Thanks

Just look at what you normally type, a space between command entries.

 

^C^CCopy _non

Nothing works, in the meantime I found this page

https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDLT/2025/ITA/?guid=GUID-DDDB6E26-75E1-4643-8C6A-BEAEBA83A424

but I still haven't solved it even though it seems important and worth studying

 

I tried to make a lisp, but there is also the problem that I have some inputs to give to the keyboard...for example the program asks me:
Ambiguous answer: specify more clearly...
SIngle or SUbobject? on
How could it be corrected?
I repeat what I would like to do copy a selected object, only once (single mode) and paste it with the snaps disabled or with snap none (_non)

 

(defun c:copia_NON ()
  (command "_copy" "_non" "")
)

 

Help!

You need to complete the code your only doing half, your only calling the command not actioning it, "Copy" "Select objects"

 

(defun c:copia_NON ()
  (command "_copy" (entsel "\npick object") "" (getpoint "\nPick base point ") "_non" (getpoint "\nPick next point " ""))
)

Sorry but it doesn't work...
Strangely it keeps asking me, when I launch lisp, if I want to consider:
SIngle or SUbobject?
But it's a definition that asks me for the copy command only when I want to use it via LISP.
Absurdly I made this code:

(defun c:copia_NON ()
  (command "_copy")
)
and it asks me anyway...Why?
