Does Datacad support any form of line continuation or Escape Characters in toolbar macros? Was just looking for a way to visually return my code to make it easier to manage.

Could you clarify what you mean by "line continuation" character?

Some programs support INI files where if you provide the supported escape character at the end of a line, usually \EOL it will skip the imemediate following line break and continue reading on the next actual line as if it were still one logical line. Would look something like this

Code: Select all

Hint24=Reset GTVs 1-40 To 1/4"
Icon24=Layout32
A24=^:^F0^F4^F1^F7^Joshs Scales.scl$^\EOL

That doesn't seem to work (if my syntax is correct)

Code: Select all
