Hi,
I can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong here…
I want o make an alias that will group a few curves and then hide them. Seems pretty simple.
Here is what I add:
grhd (Alias name) ! _Group _Hide
However, it doesn’t work. The _Group
works but the _Hide
doesn’t.
It seems to try to execute the previous command line command or something, providing ‘_Hide’ as an option. (As per the inserted image below…)
Here is the command history…
I’ve tried a bunch of different things in the alias but I can’t make sense of it.
thanks
Peter
Hi,
Try this: ! _Group _Pause _SelLast _Hide
You need the _Pause
to allow you to select the objects if they aren’t already preselected; the _Sellast
is needed to re-select them after _Group
because they get unselected (if they were not preselected).
! _Group _Hide
does work if the objects are preselected, but ! _Group _Pause _SelLast _Hide
works in both cases.
HTH, --Mitch
Hi Mitch,
I’m starting think it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual alias…
I tried your suggestion, but I had a similar problem, as follows:
As you can see, it just tried to repeat the previous rectangle commands… I can’t figure out why.
cheers

Odd… If you make a new alias (different one) does it do the same thing?
I just realized this is in the Mac category - since the alias stuff was recently revamped, maybe this is the problem? Check out this thread…
Hmmm,
seems that way. I tried a couple and same each time.
No problem with existing aliases.
is this just me?
cheers
Peter
