I do a lot of macros that speed up drawing things. Several of them require the illustrator to select points on screen one after the other for the macro to use.
A typical example is where a macro draws an item at a selected point on the screen, then loops for the next point to draw to and so on until the user exits.
It usually works OK for the first 2 or 3 times, but after this, every time the user clicks a point on screen, it insists on refreshing the screen. This is annoying, but even more annoying is when the screen goes white because it hasn't refreshed properly - the illustrator cannot then see the next point he/she wants to pick and has to exit the macro. This happens nearly every time these macros are run.
There is nothing in any of our macros that triggers a screen refresh, and it does it in our 7.00 and in 7.2. It's a bug that we wish was fixed. Does anyone (PTC????) have a workaround? Is there a command to switch off screen refresh?
