Windows 10 Pro

Dragon version 15.61

SketchUp Pro 22.0.354 64bit

I can call up different tools using the keyboard I type in a single key

L would bring up my line drawing tool.

What I have tried in the Command Browser was the following, which did not work:

myCommand Name: Draw line

Description: Draw a line in SketchUp

Group: SketchUp

Application Specific: SketchUp Application

Command Type: Auto-Tax (Text and Graphics)

Content: L

I'm not even sure if I'm going to right direction.

Try changing your Text & Graphics command to an Advanced-Scripting macro. It would look as follows:

Sub Main

SendKeys "l"

End Sub

If you prefer, you can optionally create a step-by-step command

Change "No" to "Know" w/KnowBrainer 2022

I can't find the information I'm looking for. I might have a better shot at what I'm doing if I could find the format when I want to create a macro.

Example:

Sub Main
SendKeys "L"
End Sub

this is more simple in nature. I want to get understanding onto how I might add additional commands are action. Our even a if statement. I found many topics and Dragon referring to using the Command Browser and all the various commands. But nothing regarding the basic structure of the macro.

'#Language "WWB-COM" = WinWrap Basic

There are also other Dragon specific commands.

Every WinWrap Basic command is listed here (with an example for each command): 

https://www.winwrap.com/web2/basic/#!/ref/WWB-doc_language_def.htm

Examples that use Debug.Print

'#Language "WWB-COM"
Sub Main
    Debug.Print CSByte(1.6) ' 2
End Sub

You can substtute 

MsgBox - in the above convert the number to a String by using CStr()

as in

Sub Main
    MsgBox CStr(CSByte(1.6)) ' 2
End Sub

This what I;m looking for. How to under stand the formate to use the cobe. The structure.Thw following is way over my head but there must be standatrs on how to acompish this. I need a site or book or examples. I was hoping Dragon would have a few examples, I could learn with. The example below is only to show my lack of structure knowleage. The code it's self needs nothing to me. Its things like Case, Sub, EndIf Etc. I need to understand.

Bob

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload ( Cancel As Integer, _
                               UnloadMode As Integer )
    Select Case BasicIdeCtl1.Shutdown
    Case -1 ' WinWrap® Basic execution is nested.
        Timer1.Interval = 100
        Cancel = True
    Case 0 ' Shutdown okay.
    Case 1 ' Shutdown canceled by the user.
        Cancel = True
    End Select
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Unload ( Cancel As Integer )
    Cancel = Not BasicIdeCtl1.Disconnect
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer ( )
    If Not BasicIdeCtl1.InEvent Then
       Timer1.Interval = 0
       Unload Me
    End If
End Sub

Learn the Basic programing language - READ BOOKS

To understand what commands do, start simple...

Read the example explanations in 

WinWrap® | Basic Documentation

Try the commands (statements)

Substitute simple values in the examples - see what happens...

For example the Select Case statement:

'#Language "WWB-COM"

Sub Main
    X = "A" ' Change this value to B then something other than A or B

    Select Case X     ' the value to evauate
    Case "A"            ' If X=A
        MsgBox "X=A"
    Case "B"            ' If X=B
        MsgBox "X=B" 
    Case Else           ' X = something else
        MsgBox "X does not = A or B"
    End Select
End Sub

If X is equal to A then the message box would say X=A

If X is equal to B then the message box would say X=B

(Case Else = some other value)

If X is NOT equal to A or B then the message box would say X does not = A or B

Thank you. I'm going to dig into it tonight.

I did find what I was looking for in Dragon.

They seem to offer a ton of different programs. Which one would be closest to dragon.

I have started to use hackr and it is a good source. I also bought Dragon Pro A Set Further and it is a beatiful source for understanding. Thanks for the direction.

I have since found out that the voice recognition program Nuance Dragon, by default, will execute all of the tool commands that have a single letter for execution.
