#AUTOCAD LISP ORTHO CODE#

(command '._-insert' blk PAUSE '' '' PAUSE) The layer NEW_LAY and block MY_BLOCK must exist in the drawing prior to testing this code.

#AUTOCAD LISP ORTHO CODE#

The following example code uses the PAUSE symbol to allow the user to specify the blockвЂ™s insertion point. When the command function pauses for user input, the function is considered active, so the user cannot enter another AutoLISP expression to be evaluated. Otherwise, AutoCAD does not pause for user input but uses the value of the PAUSE symbol (a single backslash).

If PAUSE is encountered when a command is expecting input of a text string or an attribute value, AutoCAD pauses for input only if the AutoCAD TEXTEVAL system variable is nonzero. When the user specifies the desired point (or types in the desired radius), the function resumes, and a line is drawn from (5,5) to (7,5), as follows: (command '._circle' '5,5' pause '._line' '5,5' '7,5' '') Also, if the command function is invoked from a menu item, the backslash suspends the reading of the menu item, which results in partial evaluation of the AutoLISP expression.ДЇor example, the following code begins the CIRCLE command, sets the center point at (5,5), and then pauses to let the user drag the circle's radius. However, it is recommended that you always use the PAUSE symbol rather than the explicit use of two backslashes.

Note: You can use two backslashes ( \) instead of the PAUSE symbol.
