Table Macro programming

 

The position table can easily be modified manually. The smarter way is to do it automated by writing a specialized macro. Advanced operations and transformations can be performed.

The macro language is C# - and writing a macro requires some programming skills.

 

 

Open the macro editor.

The button name ‘MyCaption’ can change programmatically in the macro to a more intuitive name.

Click the ‘Edit’ button to enter edit mode. The text window will turn yellowish.

As example we change the Caption function – this will change the macro button name.

Click ‘Build’ – and hopefully the build is successfully.

The button name will reflect the macro change.
