Have you ever used the same command in AutoCAD multiple times? Want an easier way? He exists! Follow these simple steps to create a toolbar button that will do most of the things for you!

Steps

1. 1 For example, we will create a command that will copy the object in place.
2. 2 Start AutoCAD.
3. 3 Enter "CUI" in the command line and press the "Enter" key. This will bring up the Customize User Interface dialog box.
4. 4 Right-click in the list of commands and select New Command.
5. 5 Rename the command to describe its functionality.
6. 6 Change the parameters of the new macro in the properties. The Copy In Place command has this macro: "^ C ^ C_copy 0,0 0,0". "^ C" means "cancel" or the equivalent of pressing the "Esc" key. Always start your command with two "^ C" to exit any command you may be in. "_ Copy" executes the copy command. The space serves the same function as pressing the spacebar on the command line. The copy command then asks for a base point and our macro inputs will be 0,0. To copy in place, specify 0.0 for the copy destination.
7. 7 Add an icon to the new team if you want.
8. 8 Move it to an existing toolbar or create your own.
