Repeating commands automatically

You want to repeat a command, such as the CIRCLE command, without having to restart the command each time using the traditional method.

To repeat a command automatically:

1. Click Tools menu > Customize > Interface.
2. Click the Customize tab in the Customize User Interface editor.
3. In the Command List panel, click New. A new command (named Command1) will be displayed in both the Command List panel and the Properties panel
4. In the Properties panel, do the following:
   • In the Name box, enter a name for the command. The name will be displayed as the tooltip or menu name when you select the command.
   • In the Description box, enter a description for the command. The description will be displayed on the status bar when the cursor hovers over the menu item or toolbar button.
   • In the Macro box, enter a macro for the command. For example, for the CIRCLE command, you would enter  *^C^C_Circle.

Note: Adding an asterisk (*) before the command definition (*^C^C_Circle) will cause the command to repeat until you select another command or press the ESC key.
