Repeat Commands in Macros

Concept

Quick Reference

You can use a leading asterisk (*) to repeat a command in a macro until you choose another command.

Once you have selected a command, you might want to use it several times before moving on to another command. In a macro, you can repeat a command until you choose another command. You cannot use this feature to choose options.

If a macro begins with *^C^C, the command is repeated until you terminate by pressing ESC on the keyboard or by selecting another command.

The macros in the following examples repeat the commands:

*^C^Cmove Single 

*^C^Ccopy Single 

*^C^Cerase Single 

*^C^Cstretch Single Crossing 

*^C^Crotate Single 

*^C^Cscale Single 

Each macro in the example starts a command and then prompts you to select an object. Any other prompts necessary to complete the command are displayed, and then the command ends and starts again.
