Macro to show list of macros and allow me to choose which one to run next?

[AndyDHarlow]

Hi I was hoping somebody would help me with a macro question.

I have created individual macros to assign work planes, import & transform vices and create set ups (copying and transforimg vices). I was hoping to create a macro to join them all together, the problem is I have multiple vice import macros and I would like to be presented with a list of macros and be able to choose which one to run next.

Is this possible, and could anyone help me with this?

this is the one i use to pick one. you'll have to change the folder path

You could consider creating yourself a user menu, which is access by right clicking in the whitespace around the project tree.

Hi, Thanks for the assistance but I am struggling to get this to work.

I keep getting the error: Call to unknown function in Line 6. I have written the macro path in there but I must be doing something wrong.

I don't suppose you could expand a little about where I should add my own paths etc to make this work?

Sorry for asking you to spoon feed me this........

Hi Kevin, thanks for you reply, I have them set up in my user menu but i'm looking for it to be a bit more automated.

no worries! i'm still spoon-fed!

you can delete that line with the function call, & if there's an INCLUDE line you can delete that too.

How I use this is i keep all the macros I want in that pull down menu in a specific folder ('C/dcam/pmill4/macros/for button/'). That way the macro only looks in that specific directory and only lists the ones there. This way If i have a project that I use specific macros i can just copy them into that directory  & delete them when I'm done. Does that make sense?

great! now throw that macro on a keyboard short cut & you can save some miles on your mousey driving over to the tree all the time!
