Change the grid size while routing in Allegro with a hotkey, Keep routing at the same time

When routing a design more often than not I change the grid when routing.

I created a hotkey to do this and indeed the grid does change but when the hotkey executes I loose the cline segment I had picked.

here is the macro

funckey 1 "define grid;etchedit;setwindow form.grid;FORM grid non_etch non_etch_x_grids 100;FORM grid non_etch non_etch_y_grids 100;FORM grid all_etch all_etch_x_grids 100;FORM grid all_etch all_etch_y_grids 100;FORM grid done"

If I am routing in a trace I can go up to the tool bar and change the grid spacing for all the etch and click ok in that dialog. The grid spacing changes and I dont loose my picked trace so I can keep on routing with the new grid settings.

Does anyone know how to create a macro to do this. It would be a time saver...I just want to be able to change the grid in an easy way while routing at the same time ... lol :) without having to select a menu to do it.

Thanks Scott.
