You can use the "Macros Manager" window ("Configuration" → "Macros Manager") for the convenience of working with macros and background operations.
The window is divided into a list of background operations and a list of macros, which are controlled through buttons above the lists and an additional context menu called when you click on a character at the end of a line.
Background Operation Management:
- Add - adds a background operation from a file on a personal computer.
- Create - creates an empty background operation file with the specified name. The name is entered in a additional window that will open after clicking on the "Create" button.
- Delete - deletes the background operation. Works both by a button (deletes a selected background operation) and from the context menu.
- Editing - opens a background operation file in the selected program for editing (uses the program specified on the "G-codes" tab).
- Run - starts a background operation. The current state of the operation is reflected using a indicator in the list of background operations.
- Stop - stops the background operation.
Also background operations are labeled to denote user (U) background operations.
Macro Management:
- Add - adds a macro from a file on a personal computer.
- Create - creates an empty background activity macro file with the specified name. The name is entered in a additional window that will open after clicking on the "Create" button.
- Delete - deletes the macro. Works both by a button (deletes a selected macro) and from the context menu.
- Editing - opens a macro file in the selected program for editing (uses the program specified on the "G-codes" tab).
- Reset - restores the standard macro to the "default" state.
- Reset All Macros - restores all standard edited macros.
Also macros are labeled to denote user (U) and modified (M) macros.
