    How can I modify the Stretch button macro so that Ortho will be turned on
    before stretch command begins
    thanks

    I created a new button with your macro and it works great but when I close
    Autocad and reopen this button is gone, only the toolbar remains. What is
    going on?
    Your help is appreciated.

    ^c^c(setvar "ORTHOMODE" 1);_stretch;
    is only the macro..you need to define the button portion in
    the usual fashion.
    Sample button on a toolbar:
    ID_STR [_Button ("Stretch", stretch_s.bmp, stretch_l.bmp)]^c^c(setvar "ORTHOMODE" 1);_stretch;
    You also need the .bmp files in your support path.
