Waiting for user input

[Gyurez]

Hi Everybody!

I am working on an Autocad project and I would like to get information about how can I do the example above:

I would like to write a script (only script, I don't want to use blocks), that if I run waits for a point which is specified by the user and after that from that point the script draws a rectangle. I looked after it in the turorial and i found infos about a special character for it called "\" but it didn't worked.

it is important for me that if the user run the script be an opportunity to pick a user point.

If you have any idea please write down.

Thank you,

Bye,

George

George,

you can't use a script, if you want to select objects, points, etc...

But you can customize a button-macro like

^C^C_rectangle;\@10,10;

You can do it in a lisp routine as well.
There is a function "getpoint" which will expect a point from the user. In a lisp you could do something like,

(setq p1 (getpoint "\nPick point:"))

The text pick point will be on the command line. There is a bit more involed than just this, so you should do some research on writing lisps.
