How to pause in a script

[Antonius60]

I know how to pause but I would like to pause sometimes more than once or only once in a lsp... For instance
rotate command
defun:1390 ()(command "rotate" pause "" pause "90")(princ))
and I know that you can use the / instead of pause with the same results but if I want to select more than one object (either window or crossing or selection) I dont know how to specify user input

thanks in advance...

to specify user input you can use "ssget" which will prompt the user to select elements and add them to a selection set.

Program Name: rot180
;Description: This program will rotate selected boject by 180 degrees.

(defun C:rot180(/ CtrPt)
  (setvar "CMDECHO" 0)
  (setq ss1 nil)
  (setq ss1 (ssget))
  (setq CtrPt (getpoint "\nPick the rotation Point:...  "))
  (command "rotate" "P" "" CtrPt "180")
  (setq ss1 nil)
  (setvar "CMDECHO" 1)
  (princ)
)		;end defun

This routing will rotate the select objects 180 degrees about a selected point.
ss1 is the mane of the selection set.

What kind of user input do you want?

Here's what I use in a toolbar button:
^C^C^C^CSELECT AU \ROTATE P ;\180;
