Adding action macros to toolbar or ribbon tab

Published date: 2008-Aug-19
ID: TS1088586

Applies to:
AutoCAD® 2009

Issue

You want to run an action macro created with the Action Recorder from a toolbar or ribbon tab.

Solution

To run an action macro from a toolbar or ribbon tab, you need to create a new command in the Customize User Interface (CUI) and add it to the desired toolbar or to a ribbon panel that is part of the desired ribbon tab.

Use the following syntax for the command macro:

^C^C_<action macro name>

For example, if the action macro name is Actmacro001, the command macro would be as follows:

^C^C_Actmacro001
