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.

[@ashfaqahmad3656]

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

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!

[@christopherfairfowl5521]

Fantastic! first class instructor. Thank you so much. All tutorials should be as professional as this.

[@DesignsbyCADPRO]

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

[@komninoskamamis1098]

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

[@arisath.tsanis620]

Sincerely thank you for your nice presentation!!!

[@predcr]

[@mason-33]

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

[@MrKerry98]

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?

[@thajmulhussain4113]

hi could you teach about autolisp complete programm?

[@tadmaw]

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

[@nishantsharma6259]

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

This commands not work from commandline why?

[@myk-izhargroupicpl3749]

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.
