Trying to write a pair of command alias to add centroids to multiple polylines (for ceilings) Alias ce works, shows the prompt, but zc doesn't execute adding the next polyline centroid. Am I missing the logic somewhere? I've try starting zc with and without ^$^, and neither work.


maybe it's late in the day.

It seems that the entering of the zc alias acts as an interrupt, which, as I understand it, is not allowed in a macro series.

After correcting the typo ^@^zc to ^@zc the macro entered an infinite loop resulting in the error shown.[for whatever reason I could not attach the screenshot?]

I was able to get it to 5 in a row, you can add more onto [zc] until it maxes out. I don't recall the maximum number of characters in an alias.
