AutoLisp--need GRTEXT command help

Dec 30, 2003 2 Replies

Anybody know how to write something to the Status Bar or Menu Bar?



I have wrote a little AutoLisp routine that changes the scale of my drawing and I want to be able to write the scale to either the Status Bar or Menu Bar when I change the scale, in order to visually see which scale the drawing is set to.



I have tried this command ( for example when the scale is changed to 1/4" to 12" ) :



( grtext -1 "1/4 to 12" )



which works, the text is displayed in the Status Bar, but when I proceed to use another command, such as Line, the text disappears. Anyone know how to display a message to the AutoCad Menu Bar or Status Bar ?



Thanks Jarvis


Have you tried MODEMACRO ? You'll find its use detailed in HELP. ___

Thanks Paul, I think that just may do it. Jarv
