Advise me... Persistent Macro
#3

If you put a ~ (squiggle symbol) at the beginning of the macro name it puts the macro at the top of the file name list.  If you have several macros that you want at the top of the file name list you can put a number at the beginning of each macro name (  0 -  to  9 - ).

Another thing you can do is put the Macro on a desktop shortcut and set its property to open Deltacad.
You will have to put code in the macro to load the CAD file. You can open a CAD file or execute a Macro from a desktop shortcut but I couldn't do both.

Code:
F$=InputBox("Enter file name")
dcOpen "C:\Deltacad\" + F$ + ".DC"
.
Macro

Thank you for the response! 
Those are things that we are currently doing.... I am looking for a way to quickly rerun the same macro after a drawing has been created in the same session...

Thanks again
