Great video! This is going to save a ton of time at start-up!

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

Thanks!

Good review for recording and editing a macro, fortunately, my old version still works great!

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

Excellent!

@paulradford4100 2 года назад

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

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

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.

@alexxustube 2 года назад

More videos would be great! 👍

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

Working on it!

Excellent 👌 Is there a way to prompt user for data, say file/object name, in a macro?

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

Take a look at some of the more complex macros available, you will see the code for it there.

@oldcomps Год назад

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.

@Adventuresincreation Год назад

I am not sure that the dimension is set in the macro. Perhaps take a look at the code and search for those dimensions

@marknthetrails7627 2 года назад

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

@Adventuresincreation 2 года назад

I believe it is pythonesque

@rondeangelis7384 Год назад

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. 🤔

@Adventuresincreation Год назад

I am not sure what controls the initial zoom size but you can adjust it.

@rondeangelis7384 Год назад

When you yourself run the macro how do you adjust?

@Adventuresincreation Год назад

@@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.

@rondeangelis7384 Год назад

@@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!!

@sstevenson638 2 месяца назад

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.

@Adventuresincreation 2 месяца назад

I see your confusion. What Macro do want to run at start up?

@sstevenson638 2 месяца назад

@@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.

@robsteele5321 Год назад

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.

@Adventuresincreation Год назад

Glad you were able to get it working.
