The Graphical macro selection dialog consists of the following two areas:
- Area Directory:
In this area, all existing subdirectories are displayed as images for a selected directory. By default, an EPLAN logo is used, and the respective name of the subdirectory is displayed as text. - Area File selection:
Here, the macros found in the selected directory are listed by name, type, date, and size in a table format. The preview is integrated in this area.
These two areas (and the macro preview integrated in the file selection) can be shown and hidden via the appropriate arrow buttons. If a directory does not contain any macros, the File selection area is hidden automatically.
Further information on a macro
To find out about the representation type of the macro, and whether there are possibly several variants, click the plus sign in front of a macro name, and in the hierarchy levels below, the existing representation types ("Multi-line", "Single-line", etc.). Thanks to the listing in table form, you thus get a good overview of the macro variants of a macro.
Selection of macros
To select a macro, click the required variant, followed by [OK]. By double-clicking a macro name, the first available macro variant is selected for insertion, and the selection dialog is closed.
Note:
In contrast to the usual macro selection, you cannot execute any functions in the Graphical macro selection dialog that affect the directories or files. For example, you cannot create, rename or delete any directories or files in this dialog.
