Dialog Save as (3D macro)

In this dialog you save the previously selected 3D objects as a macro.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Directory:

This field shows the directory, including the drive and file path where the macro is to be saved. You can also change this directory setting as required.

File name:

Specify the macro file name here or click [...] to select it yourself. When the same macro type is saved again, the name and other settings (Directory, Variant etc.) are preset to the values of the most recently stored macro.

Representation type:

Only the representation type 3D mounting layout is available when storing 3D macros.

Variant:

Use the drop-down list to specify the variant designation for the macro to be created. "Variant A" is the default.

Note:

Angle and other macro variants are not created automatically, but must be manually generated by you in the layout space, and then finally stored under the same name with a different variant designation. Up to 26 variants can be selected for each macro. If you have created different variants of a macro, then you can choose between the variants when inserting.

If you select an existing macro variant, then after clicking [OK] you will have to confirm the prompt to overwrite the old macro variant.
