I used to be good at Basic programming when it was all by line numbers. I'm having trouble figuring out how to program macros in this language. The manuals that came with DC 6.0 aren't good as a tutorial for macros. There has to be a better way to learn this. Is there a good tutorial anywhere?

Thanks, I sent him an e-mail. Hopefully he'll come up with something. I'm trying to draw ellipses for holes in isometric views. The most accurate way is to layout a parellelogram based off the tangents of the major and minor axis. If you try to draw it from center, you cant get the hieght and width to come out right. The macro command only deals with the method of drawing from center. I'll need to make a routine that will find the right hieght and width, while making sure the diameter of the hole appears correctly.
