Hello Cruno - Could you help me with one issue ? I downloaded a 3D macro of main switch and the other 3D file with its auxillary contacts. Unfortunately, The author/producer did not add a mounting point for contacts on the main switch. How can I open and edit this macro, and how can i add a mounting point ?

Hello Sir.
Thank you for your question.
That should be pretty easy, in your macro project please open/create a Layout Space and insert the main component part > macro should appear.
Then you should be able to insert the mounting point on the macro.
Make sure that the layout space property "Macro:Name" is the same as the main component
