Activate Hotspots

This command is thus only used in macros. It enables you to activate a hotspot from a macro.

Makes the hotspots in the map live. When the cursor moves over a live area, the cursor becomes a familiar pointing finger cursor. Notice that the tracking indicator on the Status Bar is replaced with an actions status message (white text on red):

 LB:Action RB/ESC:End

A mouse click with the [L]eft [B]utton activates a hotspot. A mouse click with the [R]ight [B]utton, or the ESC key, ends the Activate Hotspots and returns you to the normal drawing environment.

If the command prompt disappears after an Activate Hotspots command has been activated, it means that a custom hotspot has gone wrong. Type ECON (you won’t see anything) and press ENTER to restore the command prompt.
