Operating System and LibreCAD version info

Mac OS High Sierra / 2.1.3

lordofbikes commented 6 years ago

Using spaces to separate multiple commands doesn't work, because SPACE was implemented for AutoCAD users, to react like ENTER (see #764). 2.1.3 already has the multiple command feature, see #907. Beside the options paste and file, shown in the #907 answer, you can also type the commands into the command line and push ENTER.

So the correct syntax for your command is: pl;0,0;5000,0;5000,1300;0,1300 or pl;0,0;5000,0;5000,1300;close and then ENTER to run all the commands

Thank you for the feedback I tried this out and couldn't get it to work on my 2.1.3 version on MacOS. I did a cut&paste of pl;0,0;5000,0;5000,1300;close into the command line hitting enter and got no visible result but also no error message. Doing the step by step approach works.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have what appears to be the same scenario as @WolfgangFahl, using LibreCAD 2.1.3 on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6): nothing happens when pasting full commands like rec;0,0;300,100;close to the command line. Also, the drop down menu at the right corner of the command line text box (as described in #907) seems to be missing.
