Hi All,

I am customizing a menu to find current layer, insert door on appropriate layer, ability to rotate door to user requirements and return user to the previous current layer.

I have achieved all the above except to allow the user to rotate the door upon insertion. When I remove a semi colon the user is prompted to rotate but the current layer isn't returned to the previous before command was invoked.

[Doorslides(DD-1840-64wall,DD-1840-64wall)]^C^C^P(setq orig-lay(getvar "clayer"))(prin1);attdia;1;-layer m D-DOOR;c;2;;;-insert "K:/Ref/AutoCAD Customisation/Library/Doors/DD-1840-64wall.dwg";\1;1;0;-layer s !orig-lay;;;;

I would really appreciate some help to achieve my goal.

Thanks,

Phil

Use a "\" at the rotation angle. You already use it ay the insert point.

Hi Jan,

I have tried that and yes it allows the user to rotate the door but doesn't return you to the current layer before the command was executed.

Thanks, Phil

Strange, in my command sequence it does return to the desired layer. I use this: ^c^c-LAYER;M;INSDET;C;7;insdet;;-insert;(strcat pad3 "dsn_leid");\;;\-LAYER;set;pen1;; works perfect. I'll try your sequence, see how that works.

Back again. Tried your menu line, it works! This is it: ^C^C^P(setq orig-lay(getvar"clayer"))(prin1);attdia;1;-layer;m;D-DOOR;c;2;;;-insert (strcat pad3 "dsn_leid");\1;1;\-layer;s;!orig-lay;;;;

Replace the '(strcat pad3 "dsn_leid")' with your block name. Let me know if it works for you.
