Macro functions
Some system functions, for example those provided under the File | Utilities menu, cannot be saved as a form set. However, there are two ways in which you can invoke them:
- Select an option from the Macro Processes menu in the Macro Editor.
- To close the Vizex window, for example, a FILECLOSE function is available via the File menu.
- System (ABORT, BEEP and COMMENT) functions are available via the Macro menu.
- Select an option from the Scripting menu (listed in the table below).
- Enter parameters and save them as a form set.
- You can now create a macro file as normal and run it. Note that you can use replaceable parameters with macro functions. refer to the Replaceable parameters topic.
