V-Suite CORE 2021

The Macro Manager is located within the Customization Tool Window. It is only visible if the V-Suite CORE Manage License is activated.

When the Asset Database is opened via the Visionaize Enterprise Server the following restrictions apply when performing Macro Manager functions:

• The user must belong to a role that has the “Customization” access right.

Macro Manager distinguishes between Macro Folders, User Defined Macros and System Macros which are represented with the following icons:

A Macro folder can be created to organize Macros into folders. User Defined Macros can be executed by V-Suite CORE users via the Tools – Macro menu. The organization of Macros in Macro Folders determines how Macros are organized in sub-menus in the Tools – Macro Menu.

User Defined Macros can perform any Macro API Command. A User Defined Macro is typically created by a V-Suite CORE Project Administrator to automate repetitive tasks.

It is up to the author of the Macro which commands are being executed by the Macro. Execution of a User Defined Macro is initiated by V-Suite CORE users.

In contrast to a User Defined Macro, a System Macro must execute specific Macro API Commands and must abide to pre-defined conventions.

Execution of System Macro is not initiated by a V-Suite CORE user but is invoked by specific V-Suite CORE functions.  V-Suite CORE currently supports the following types of System Macros:

• Asset Template Macro
• Attach Assembly Macro
• Integration Adapter Macro
• PCF Component Macro
• PCF Header Macro

Macro Manager Commands can be executed via the Macro Manager Toolbar or Macro Manager Context Menu.

Macro Manager will be disabled when multiple projects are opened. You must open a single project in order to create, edit or delete macros.
