I'm using DraftSight Version V1R5.1x64, which is the latest version. I'm in need of help with how to express an asterisk (*) in a command string. If I type the following commands:

-LAYER (Enter)

Off (Enter)

* (Enter)

Y (Enter)

all the layers in the drawing will turn off, even the current layer. Even though "Off" & "*" aren't shown as command line options, it still works perfectly. I have a custom toolbar button with a command string that used to work perfectly in the last release. For the new release I modified the command string to execute all of the above commands at once:

-LAYER;OFF;*;Y;;

For some reason the asterisk (*) is ignored when the custom command is used. How do I express an asterisk (*) properly in my command string? Basically, it's just a "wildcard" expression. Is there another character to use that acts as a wildcard?

Logically one would think that if executing the commands individually works well, then stringing them together for "one click" use should be possible. This custom command is very handy to turn off all layers with one click, then turn on just a few layers for copying, copy/paste to another drawing, etc. I miss it!

Thanks
