I have created the following macro but I cannot get it to "finish" properly, I always have to R Click the mouse prior to selecting the print icon in the printing dialogue box. I have tried multiple ways to make it "finish" cleaner but haven't found the right combination. For example, following the instructions from the Help files for Action Strings, I have tried the E, T & K Key Ins and also multiple spaces, slashes (/) and semi-colons (;) all to no avail.FIT VIEW EXTENDED 1; PLACE FENCE ACTIVE; / ; PRINT
Using V8i
Using my version of your keyin I can print a drawing and then print again and it still works so I'm not sure what is different. Putting the keyin on a menu shouldn't make nay difference. I have similar keyins on menus without any problems.
Seems like you're correct but that is not the case. I'm using V8i Select series 3, makes a difference?? I wouldn't think so since I've written other macros in similar fashion but this one just doesn't work as expected.
No I was using the same version to test.
are you actually using a macro or is it a keyin script that you run either run from menu or f key or a text script file?
You need to add the "execute" at the end for it to finish
here is what I use on f12
fit view extended;place fence allfiles;selview 1;PRINT;print maximize;print driver MyprinterPDF.pltcfg;execute
