How to automatically insert a pre-designed block drawing just?

[raby]

Hello,

I wanna use a uer-defined toolbar button to realize the function of CAD "insert" command. And in fact, I already create a new toolbar button and the destination block drawing, but have no idea on how to make my button effective. Please anybody give me some details on this issue and thanks a lot! Of course, I'm grateful if you could give me such an example to show me details.

Raby,

which ACAD-version are you running? You didn't mean the tool-palettes?

I deal with the AutoCAD 2004 program, in that program what you want to do is fairly easy. On the "insert" toolbar go to the "insert block" command, select what you want to put in and just put it there. You could also use the insert pulldown to pretty much the same thing.

I think you want to right-click on any toolbar and pick customize. From there, highlight Toolbars and then pick NEW button. You will need to fill out information for your new command. Under Macro, you will need to enter the command sequence ie ^C^C-insert;C:\someblock.dwg\;0,0;;; or something like that.
