Recording Action Macros
When recording an action macro, you should be aware of the following:
■ The current drawing settings used when recording an action macro are
not completely retained by an action macro. To make sure that specific
drawing settings are used during playback, record them as part of the action
macro using the system variable name or the SETVAR command.
■ While many commands are recorded, there are some commands that are
not recorded. The commands that are not recorded are related to drawing
file operations, working with the Action Recorder, and grip editing. The
following table lists the commands that are not recorded by the Action
Recorder.
