If you put this routine on Support Search path, then the macro for command could be as: ^C^C^P(if (not c:pasteasblock) (load "Paste_as_block"))^P PASTEASBLOCKĮDIT: I have changed Paste_as_block.lsp (added corrections to allow “paste as a block” for block with attributes), so please, if you already downloaded Paste_as_block.lsp before 6 Feb, redownload new version of Paste_as_block.lsp here. It inserts block and gives it name in form of “A$CXXXXXXX”, where XXXXXXX – is random number (almost like in AutoCAD for Windows). So, you copy AutoCAD objects to clipboard (Edit -> Copy with Base Point), then paste it to another (or to current) drawing as a block with new PASTEASBLOCK command defined in Paste_as_block.lsp. You can even assign shortcut key to it (see my previous posts “ Creating shortcuts for custom commands in AutoCAD for MAC” or “ Edit and Create Shortcuts in AutoCAD for MAC? YES it is possible! Part two (advanced)” ) Then you can create command macro in CUI editor, assign it to a button in Tool sets Palette, or to menu item in application menu. Paste as Block – another one missing functionality in AutoCAD fo Mac.įor all of those who really missing this command in AutoCAD, I propose to take advantage of AutoLISP routine from this post.Īfter downloading, just unzip file, put it somewhere on your home folder (I’ll suggest to create special folder for your custom files and put it on AutoCAD Support Search Path via “Application Preferences”.
