Repeat custom-made command without re-clicking the command

[archlink 0]

Hi 

Does anyone use custom-made tool command?  For example a typical line,  we set thickness, colour etc. and make a custom-tool.

Now, in the macro,  how can we repeat the same command without re-clicking the command again?

 

This was not an issue in order Vectorworks.  Probably 2016 version but 2017, the macro for repeating the same command (until next tool is selected) didn't get recognized.   2018 and 2019 are the same.  Something was changed and I couldn't make the "repeat" happen again. 

So when I want to draw the same line which is set by the custom tool, I have to click it again and draw which is wasting the time. 

Please kindly help if you know the answer.

Can you post or send me directly one of the commands and I can take a look and see if I can figure out why it is not repeating.

Hi Pat, 

I just realized that you have replied to my posting. 

 

Here is one of the custom command I made for 0.1mm line. 

Sorry, it became two piece photos.

If you change the CallTool command to SetTool, then the tool will remain active after the script ends and you should get what you need.

 

You probably also want to get rid of the PopAttrs (and the PushAttrs) otherwise the attributes will be set back to what they were before you ran the script.
