Import/Export via Macros

You can accelerate the conversion of files using appropriate macros. To do this you require the Design Automation module.

The command sequence for the macro run is created in the text menu mode. This mode is activated automatically for macro creation and processing. Here, function selection is made with the help of a special text menu offering the same options as the normal HiCAD menu.

When you call the Create macro function, HiCAD activates the text mode and the main menu appears on the screen, thus enabling you to access all other HiCAD functions.

The paragraph below describes the creation of macros used to read STEP files:

ClosedExample of a macro creation

Example: Read STEP

Use the key shortcut CTRL+8 to call the macro and open the corresponding macro file.

 

When you write macros intended to output STEP/MTA and IGES/CATIA files, the macro variable STYP needs to be set, otherwise macro instructions will not be correctly carried out.
