Execute the Macro

You don't need to step through the code whenever you run the macro. You can run the macro from the Tools menu by clicking Macro Macros, selecting a macro, and then clicking Run. This allows you to see the flow of execution the way a user would see it. Run the macro from AutoCAD, entering the following values:

Start point of the path: 2, 2

Endpoint of the path: 9, 8

Half width of the path: 2

Radius of tiles: .2

Spacing between tiles: .1

This example should draw a garden path as shown in the following figure:

You can experiment with the Gardenpath macro by specifying the various inputs.
