Set macro as current

Parent Previous Next

* Because a geometrical rule always must be placed in a module, you must indicate which macro and the module are current/active. All geometrical rules that you create will be placed in that current module. This command is carried out automatically for you when the Edit macro dialog box is active. Therefore you only need this command if you use one of the 10 icons of the geometrical rules in the toolbar.


This command also regulates simultaneously the automatic calculation of macros. When you have set a module as current, then no single macro will be recalculated. As you know macros always ensure that its components automatically adapt when a basic fact is adapted. That automatic adaptation is suspended for all macros in the drawing. You can recalculate the macros with the command Recalculate all (see further in the manual). Now you decide the calculation of the macros.

To incite the automatic recalculation, you set no module as current by starting this command and immediately pressing <Enter>.
