Calling a VX Command Directly

 

The User menu can be used as a customizable menu bar. In this case you are simply trying to duplicate VX button's and are not trying to access functions from a separate library.

 

Almost all VX commands have a template associated with them.  These commands may be started from the VX command input line by typing an "!" followed by the command template name.  Similarly a command may be started from a button by using an "!" with the "command" keyword.

 

For Example:
 

#  Calling an existing Vx menu item via:   !CommandName  .

#  In this case create a 3D line joining two points.

ITEM=button

label=Ovx Ex0

command=!CdLn2Pts

 

Use $report to display command and function calls in the message window. You may use them either directly from the command input field or in your template with:

 

command=!CommandTemplateName
