Your code is working here as far as I can tell, but it seems your limiting it to one orientation of 90* for the wall cut, so your limited to it working on walls running at 90* the way it is or the macro fails or cuts some other lines somewhere on the plan that will work. Don't know if that is what you were going for or not.

I had this toolbar working for probably a couple of years.
Suddenly it does not work.

I have an icon for each direction, 18" through 36" doors.

Tried on a couple different drawings and also a new drawing ... it either does nothing or cuts the corner, does not offset the 4".

Thanks for the reply.
