brand-new AutoCAD command next type in the name for your new command just for
this example I'll choose dollar general portrait click the macro section and
here go ahead and type in the following code let me explain you this code really
quick CC to get out of any active command then you'll use the command line
version of layout command following by template and the path for your template
in this case the block library if we open it I mean I wrench this let
me arrange this so you can see better
the path for your block library would be these in your Windows Explorer so simply
copy that and paste that over here in your code and the only thing that you
will change is the slash as you can see this slash is facing to the left you
will change it here in the code to face to the right then here you will change
the layout name for dollar general portrait because that's the one that we
set and then again here type the same layout
name that would be all for your macro code

an image or icon this will be for a small image and this for a large one
