Automating tasks using Macros in AutoCAD 

Learn AutoCAD for free using this step-by-step AutoCAD tutorial series containing nearly 40 videos with lesson files sourcecad.com/courses/autocad-essentials-course/

Love your style of explaining the topics. See people who show much advanced features, but look like showing off, not explaining. Thanks for your efforts

At my first architect office I worked at many years ago, they had wonderful macros for changing layers quickly. I'd like to re-create that. This will help! Thank you.

Hi, from Karachi, Pakistan, Sir, I am Muhammad Yameen Khan and working as a senior structural draughtsman for 12 years, we really appreciated your quality teaching way and like your efforts in CAD video. Hats off to you for the recent video on MACRO and CUI command system. Love and pray for you.

Thank you!! Always wanted to learn this!! My friend automated most of his tasks/dwgs, because his dwgs are, for the most part, all the same, just slightly different. Mine aren’t, but love to learn anything that expands my skills!

You videos are easy to understand unlike other creators! I could really follow along with what you will saying and doing! I especially like the recording option. Very neat

Absolutely fantastic presentation! Thank you my friend and may God bless you

Many thanks for your job. You saved my (working) live. The future is open ...

VERY GOOD EXPLANATION

Informative vedio

thank you very much

Your the man bro

May I ask how do you store user input in a variable using Macros please? For example, how would you store the X,Y,Z coordinates of a point that a user has clicked on the screen, with the intention of using that same point later on in the Macro? I can see that @ can be used to store the first point, but what about storing any points after that? I have briefly looked at DIESEL expressions, but from what I can see they can only be used for toggling things on and off. Do I need to learn AutoLISP in order to store and use more than one variable? Sorry for the long message

thank you!

Great..

Is there anyway to scroll or switch through different layers with keyborad?

Hey bro! The Same Can be used with Command Hexbolt....??? Or We must click it from Action Recorder every?

hi could you teach about autolisp complete programm?

Hi, I1m looking for macro that save files, for example beging with numer 1 until 250. Someone could help me please?

Very cool

very nice video

can i use macro for creating layout creation

Hello, can you use matematics in macros, can i remake the area command but put in 1/1000000 in the macro? Thank you.

Can I see the recorded macro source like ^C^C_ etc like this syntax?

Can we use this macros from command bar or not

Sir please make video on solidworks Your teaching style is brilliant

Hi, watch whole video many times, yet i can some things out. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to make sketch macro (autocad LT 2020) ^C^C_sketch;T;P;I;1 that would make in theory, sketch with polyline and increments would be set to 1, but for whatever reason, i cant get it work, always asks for increments by specifing second increment point. Without increment set in macro, it does the same: ^C^C_sketch;T;P weather i use ; at the end or not, it doesnt metter either

Plz teach Revit and Sketchup. I want to learn from JP sir.

i use quickkeys...not buttons. How can i translate this to a quick key? For instance, i created a macro (thanks to you!) for setting the layer back to 0. I would love to just hit the "0" key to use this command, but im at a loss. any suggestions?

thnx

congratulations #brasil

This commands not work from commandline why?

Hi sir, I want to make dimensioning using macros.kindly help me

Sir, one more thing, do you teach Tekla Structure and Revit? You know Sir, Why did I ask? because of determination in my mind about your teaching power. In Karachi city, most of the consultants asking an employee Hey do you know also Tekla and Revit in an interview. Please comment.
