Recording and Running Action Macros

Action macros automate the execution of command sequences you previously recorded.

Use the ActionRecord command to start recording a sequence of commands.

Use the ActionStop command to stop recording and give the action macro a name.

Execute the action macro by typing its name at the command prompt. You can use the action macro in any open drawing.

To record action macros:

1. Type ActionRecord at the command prompt.

   In the graphics area, a red circle near the cursor indicates that your command executions are recording.

2. Run commands to reuse as an action macro in other drawings.
3. Type ActionStop at the command prompt to stop recording.
4. Type an action macro name.

To run action macros:

• In the command window, type the name of the action macro.

  The command sequence you recorded is executed.

  You can use commands that open dialog boxes in action macros, but the actions performed in the dialog box are not replayed.
