Much help. Much appreciated
You are welcome
Great video! This is going to save a ton of time at start-up!
Thanks!
Good review for recording and editing a macro, fortunately, my old version still works great!
Excellent!
Great introduction to macros. However, I don't always start with the part design workbench and not bothered with it. I could name several macros for the different startups, but I just prefer the control to do what I want.
That said, knowing how to make a macro is good, as if you have several operations you do frequently, a macro is pretty handy
You can have it start in any of the workbenches. You nailed it. For frequent tasks this is a quick and easy way to record them.
More videos would be great! 👍
Working on it!
Thank you!!!
You are welcome
Excellent 👌
Is there a way to prompt user for data, say file/object name, in a macro?
Take a look at some of the more complex macros available, you will see the code for it there.
I did exactly as the video said and it works BUT when the new document is created the dimension in the corner of the active screen are 6 x 4 mm but when I record the macro the dimensions are 325 x 200, am I doing something wrong.
I am not sure that the dimension is set in the macro. Perhaps take a look at the code and search for those dimensions
Use to make many macros in various programs, what is the language base? Can I adapt this with inputs at certain stages? So to input the name without stopping the macro. Thanks
I believe it is pythonesque
When startup macro is executed and selecting the plane, why is the zoom resolution (lower right) so small? If you zoom in, the resolution becomes larger, but the objects are not scaled to the resolution 😱. Whereas if created without a macro, you would get a much larger resolution. 🤔
I am not sure what controls the initial zoom size but you can adjust it.
When you yourself run the macro how do you adjust?
@@rondeangelis7384 I just roll the middle mouse wheel and watch the dimensions on the right hand bottom corner. You will see it zooming in or out.
@@Adventuresincreation hey sorry didn't get back to you. Yes, not sure why didn't work for me before. But, running the macro, selecting XY plane, yields very small zoom resolution. Applying more zoom with mouse yeilds correct results. My bad...still in learning phase.. thankx for replaying back. Keep up the great tutorials!!
Misleading title. I thought your were going to show how to configure a macro to automatically run at startup, not a macro that you can run at startup.
I see your confusion. What Macro do want to run at start up?
@@Adventuresincreation I'm currently trying to develop some scripted objects in Python. The problem is when I save them and re-read them their Python classes haven't been defined. This causes them not to load correctly. I'm trying to figure out how to define my Python classes on startup, short of creating my own workbench.
Love your videos, had a problem with getting macro to load.
Turns out I had to leave (App.getDocument("Unnamed").saveAs) and delete everything after it.
Again I just want to say Thanks.
Glad you were able to get it working.
