Wish: keep tools (commands) active after activation

Right now, whenever I need to fillet or chamfer a bunch of lines, I always need to invoke the tool with spacebar, click the lines I want (and for filleting with the dynamic setting turned on, confirm with space once more). Why can’t commands stay active after you activate them for when you need work on a large amount of geometry in a row? To me it is much simpler to hit Esc once to cancel out of a command rather than keep confirming that I want to use a command for each and every action.

Hi @Intuos
This can be done with “*” before the command, eg. as a macro or alias:
*fillet or *line or whatever command you need. There’s also the Repeat command, which does the same thing.

That does it, didn’t know this was possible. I do have to mention using the command repeat, you’ll have to set commands like Undo explicitly like this in order for them to register !_Undo. But if you undo, the previous command is cancelled as well. So that’s something I think could be improved.

Undo and Redo simply cannot be transparent '_Undo doesn’t register with a repeated chamfer, for instance.
