Tutorial: Create a custom command

By Ellen Finkelstein

If you find yourself using the same combination of commands and options over and over, you can easily create a custom
command that executes the combination with a click of a button or a menu item. In this tutorial, I explain the basics of
AutoCAD’s menu syntax so that you can create your own commands. No programming required!

1. Enter cui at the command line/dynamic tooltip to open the Customize User Interface dialog box.
2. In the Command List pane, click New (Create a New Command).
3. In the Properties pane, enter a name for the command in the Name text box. Also enter a description in the Description
text box.
4. If you think your command will be long or need more than one line, click in the Macro text box and then click the Ellipsis
button that appears on the right. Then enter your macro in the Long String Editor dialog box. Otherwise, enter the
macro in the Macro text box. Start by writing out the combination of commands and options as you would enter them on
the command line or in a script. Then add any necessary special characters.

Below are the special characters you need to know for menu macros:

Character Description
Equivalent to pressing Enter except when entering
text to create a text object that contains spaces
Space
(between words). Use between the command and its
options.
Equivalent to pressing Enter. The end of a line in a
menu macro is also equivalent to pressing Enter.
More helpful than using a space when you need to
; (semi-colon)
press Enter twice, because it shows the number of
Enters more clearly. Also helpful at the end of the
macro.
Pauses for user input, such as picking a point or
\
entering a value.
At the end of a macro line, continues the macro to the
+
next line
At the beginning of a macro, before ^C^C, repeats the
* macro until you press Esc or choose another menu
item.
Toggles the display of the menu macro on the
^P command line; makes the macro look neater when
you use it.

1. From the Command List Categories drop-down list, choose Custom Commands to easily find your command. Select it
and drag it to the desired menu or toolbar at the top of the Customize User Interface dialog box.
2. If you drag it to a toolbar, use the Button Editor to give it an image. Usually, you choose an existing button to start with,
click Edit, and modify it. Then click the Save As button to save the icon image.
3. Click OK and try out your new command!

Hi,
How can I change the default behavior of Multiple Object Stretch command?
Meaning:
when I press the MOS command and hit enter or right click mouse button it executes defaults Crossing Window selection,
but wish to go for a Crossing Polygon option. It’s annoying to keep entering CP or press down arrow keyboard button to
select it over and over again since the CP option is the option I use most of the time.
It’s Acad 2012
Thx.

Are you just talking about the STRETCH command? I’ve never heard the phrase “Multiple Object Stretch,”
although of course, you can stretch multiple objects with the STRETCH command.
I would simply create a custom command and assign it to a keyboard shortcut or add it as a button to a ribbon panel. I
have instructions here: https://allaboutcad.com/tutorial-create-a-custom-command/. This might also help —
https://allaboutcad.com/create-a-custom-toolbar-in-autocad-2006-or-later/ — although it describes adding a button to
a toolbar, rather than to the ribbon.

Dear Ellen,
Thank for your quick replay.
Yes, I meant the STRETCH command. “Multiple Object Stretch” is the tool tip displayed when you hover your mouse over
the icon in “Modify” panel of the “Express Tools” tab. Also known as “Stretch Multiple”. Sorry for misunderstanding.
The reason i look to edit or modify existing commands is that I’m not very familiar with writing codes and programing and I
find it easier to change just a bit of the existing code rather then write a new one.
See, when I open the CUI and look for “Multiple Object Stretch”, macro label shows “^C^Cmstretch”. Here I thought I can
change that default behavior.
And the STRETCH command shows “$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_stretch,^C^C_stretch)”
so I don’t have a clue about where is the option of choosing Crossing Window or Crossing Polygon hidden.
Or to make it simpler, if you type “MSTRETCH” the command line shows:
Specify an option [CP/C]
This is what I meant. It goes for C by default and I want to make CP to be default, not to type CP every time.
When I wrote my question to you, i was already on https://allaboutcad.com/tutorial-create-a-custom-command/ so
now I’ll give it a try with creating a custom command.

Solved. Not exactly what I want but does the trick and it’s fast enough.
After MSTRETCH long mouse right click and pick CP on a shortcut drop down menu. Good

You can’t exactly type the command, but you can create a custom keyboard shortcut, such as Shift+L. I have
instructions at https://allaboutcad.com/create-a-custom-keyboard-shortcut/.

possible? your help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Ellen
April 17, 2012 at 8:58 pm
I think you’d need some more sophisticated programming that would allow you to interface with Windows. But
if you know the name & path, you might be able to put a pause in the custom command and type the file name
and path at that point. You’d have to turn off the FILEDIA system variable. I haven’t tried this, just guessing.

i have a macro that i have been using in autocad 2012 for a simple copy & rotate command as follows
^C^C_select;auto;\_copy;p;;0,0;0,0;_move;p;;\\_rotate;p;;\\redraw
For some reason it does not work in 2013
the macro just end after the copy command and fails to rotate the objects
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hello,
Why is it that after this macro the layer is not returned to “0”? The macro will change to “2D_WALL”.

Yet, with other commands ie. dimlinear it works.

I’ve never heard of selectobjects in a custom command (which doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist). In a custom
command, you can use ; (semi-colon) in the place of Enter or \ (back=slash) to pause for user input. See if one
of those works.

I’ve tried following your instructions numerous times… I get to a point where I make the command properly (I
hope)- including macros and choosing an icon, etc.
BUT- when it comes time to drag the new command to a toolbar, none of my panels will allow the new command to
lodge/stick there! This is also true for standard commands- i tried adding Trim to my Draw panel (so i don’t have to keep
switching b/w Trim and Extend) and it won’t let me attach it to the panel!
What am I doing wrong, anyone? thanks!

HI Ellen and thanks for this awesome site!
Could you help me with a tricky problem?
I tried to use an old macro I made years ago
and it didn´t work anymore as it used to.
Macro: ^C^C_layout;t;printtemplate.dwt;
So basically I wont to make new layouts from template with
all printing setups already made in. I am using AC2011LT in Windows 7.
If I type that same string on a command line, Acad will open
a popup window with all layouts listed in a template.
For some reason when command is ran by the macro, it will show
this text: Enter layout name(s) or [?]:
So is there a way to get the pop up -window with all layouts listed?
Putting Filedia -value to 1 didn´t help.
Thanks!!

So I have a lisp routine that works perfectly to apply text to a dimension line, however, it will not put the text
below it because the command for putting text below a dim line is “\X” the “\” represents waiting for user input.
how do I get CAD to look at “\X” as complete command rather than seeing “\” then “X”?
hopefully that all makes sense

They all can give you powerful tools with a small learning curve.
(Or a minimum of it did, I haven’t seen it in 10 years).
This engine has integrated support for some of the most powerful tools out
there today and is creating relationship with many 3rd party developers, like Mixamo for example, that is allowing
for even more tool integration.

Hi All,
Trace command is removed from 2014. I created a macro for it to trace my shearwalls in previous versions. I have been
messing with the pline command but I can’t seem to get it right.
This was my old macro with trace… ^C^C-COLOR 253 TRACE 5.5 MIDPOINT
The code below is what I have been messing with but doesn’t work. Tried different way but no luck still:
^c^c-color 253;; pl; midpoint; \; w; 5.5; 5.5;
I created a hatch one. I first have to set my hatch then I use the W to draw the boundary. These are 2 separate toolbars
screen menu items.
^c^c-color;8;-hatch;p;ansi31;3;0;;
^c^c-hatch;w;n;
If anyone knows what I’m missing for the pline macro that would be great. I’m assuming that it’s not possible. I can work
with using the -hatch.
Thanks in advance

i.e. Soil boring’s with each soil type at certain depths and the classification to follow it at half the distance.

Ctrl+Page Down moves you from tab to tab going to the right
Ctrl+Page Up goes left

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with a macro.
I usually have zero lines of prompt history. ( in my workspace )
But when i measure a distance.
I’d like to have 3 lines of history displayed. ( so i see my measurement )
Then click, and the history would return to zero.
And i would continue working as usual.
I can get it to change from zero to 3,then the distance command,
