How to Repeat the Last Symbol Insertion
Fundamentals
CAD packages generally provide a method of repeating most of their functions (COPY, ERASE etc.) simply by pressing the <ENTER> key, immediately after the function is run.
ARX/FDT functions, of the type Elecdes uses, will only repeat in this manner if they are defined as "C:" functions and have no parameters / arguments given to them.
Many Elecdes functions have arguments and hence cannot be "C:" functions.
When you run an Elecdes function, Elecdes stores the ARX/FDT function pointer and all of its arguments.
The Elecdes Repeat function can then re-run the command without picking items from the pull down menu or icon menus.
Procedure
-
If you wish to run the function again, without selection, select
from the menu.You may also enter "rp" to run the Repeat function without toolbar selection.
-
This will re-run the function (irrespective of whether it is a "C:" function or has arguments).
-
Once this is done you may press <ENTER> as often as you like to re-run the original function.
e.g. insert the same terminal symbol 10 times with 1 icon selection.
