OmniWin Tips & Tricks: Custom Macros (Drawing Templates)

10/24/2023

Learn in our video how to create customized drawing templates (macros) and how to add them to the Macro dialog.

Creating macros requires a basic working knowledge of Java Script. The custom macro files are located in the Macro folder in the process data directory.

A macro consists of:

- an image file for showing the picture in the Macro dialog

- a thumbnail file for the gallery views and

- the script itself.

 

The scripts for all custom macros are stored in one Java Script file “macro.js” located in the directory mentioned above.

To create a new, parameterized macro, you have to perform the following steps:

- Create the macro drawing in OmniWin and identify the construction steps.

- Create an image file for showing the picture.

- Create a thumbnail for the gallery view.

- Add the macro script to the file “macro.js”.
