Summary: My goal is to create some kind of macro that, based on some (diesel) conditions, calls another macro out of four.
Hi, I often have to print a lot of files that need time consuming changes in plot settings. There are 4 cases, with proper plot settings.
I use Acad 2000 Lt, so i cannot use Autolisp programming. So I wrote 4 scripts that does this 'converting' and printing. On top of this I made 4 Buttons (Custom Toolbar Macro's) that loads these scripts for me and appointed each an Accelerator Key, e.g. [CTRL + TOOLBAR + 3]. This works fine, although it seems that there must be an easier way. At this point I did not go for a Menu Macro because I do not yet see the advantages.
Anyway, now I want to make 1 super Button to work for all four cases. I managed to distinguish between my 4 cases by comparing the first two letters of the filename (based on nested Diesel expressions). Now I want this Toolbar Macro to call one of my 4 previous Toolbar Macro's by their Accelerator Key, but somehow this doesn't work.
Can a Custom Toolbar Macro (CTM) call another CTM? Or do I need another approach like using Menu Macro's instead of Toolbar Macro's? I actually want to declare and call my own functions like one does in C-programming.
Thanks for the help!
