rjla Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm using version 12.5. Is there a repeat last tool command? Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 boy, i remember that from my autocad days. i am sure a script can be written to do just that, if archoncad does not have it already... Quote Link to comment
Yancka Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Soooo, IS there such a command? Repeat last COMMAND from menus? Not Tool - the tool continues working until different tool is made active. I guess, not. At least I can't find anything similar in Help. In forums neither. So I believe the only way would be a script. Can such be written? Quote Link to comment
maarten. Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm pretty sure it's not possible with VectorScript cause VW doesn't save the used commands in a log, so there's no way that a script can go and find that information cause it doesn't excist. There probable is a way to make such a log with a script, but i'm sure it will be buggy like hell and it will only slow down your VW... To be honest, i've never really missed such a thing as "last command" cause i have a short key for all the commands i use frequently. When there's a command without one that i'll have to use multiple times a day, i just make a temporary short key for it. Quote Link to comment

Ray Libby Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 You can use boomerang mode. Hold the space bar, choose a tool, when you release the space bar the previous tool will become active. This is as close as you'll get. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Ray, this is interesting. I don't see how to use it yet, bet the time will probably show. Actually active becomes not previous tool but the tool which was active when I pressed space bar. I can use many different tools while holding space bar but when I release it active becomes the tool which was last active before pressing space bar. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 That's what I meant, the tool that was active before you pressed the space bar. Quote Link to comment
Bob Holtzmann Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The space bar trick works for most tools, but if you use the Text Tool while in boomerang mode, and click on the drawing, the depressed space bar will continuously input spaces into the text box. Woops! Quote Link to comment
