Syntax for a button macro in 2000i 1

[danreese]

I am upgrading from Acad R14 to 2000i. I have many custom menus for inserting blocks on a drawing. The menus/macros work great in r14. When I try them in 2000i they don't work properly. Here is an actual macro string from one of my buttons: ^C^Clayer set e-powr^C^Cinsert plug near \;;

This string sets the layer "e-powr" current and then retrieves the block "plug" and waits for user input to near-to snap.

Can anyone help me with what I need to change to make this work in release 2000i?

ok well i think this ought to work if i remember right im only on 2k i have 2ki at home but there were some slight differences in dealing with button macros

you have

^C^Clayer set e-powr^C^Cinsert plug near \;;

make it
^C^C-layer s "e-powr";^C^C-insert;"plug";nea;\;;
try that or
^C^C-layer s "e-powr";^C^C-insert;"plug";nea;\;
or
^C^C-layer;s;"e-powr";^C^C-insert;"plug";nea;\;

the last one should work but try all of them
if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place
