Record and Modify Action Macros

Action macros can be used to automate repetitive tasks by recording a series

of commands and any values entered.

Overview of Action Macros

You use the Action Recorder to record an action macro. After an action macro

is recorded, you save the recorded commands and input to an action macro,

which has the file extension ACTM.

The Action Recorder is a panel on the ribbon and contains the tools to record,

play back, and modify an action macro. You can also set the preferences for

the Action Recorder from the Action Recorder Preferences dialog box. During

the playback, editing, or recording of an action macro, you can expand the

Action Recorder panel to access the individual actions of the current action

macro from the Action tree.

In the Action tree, you can modify and delete the action nodes of an action

macro. Action nodes represent the recorded commands or input values of an

action macro. You can also specify base points, insert user messages, and pause

for user input for a value node during playback. A value node in an action

macro represents the input that was provided at a sub-prompt of a command

during recording. Value nodes can contain acquired points, text strings,

numbers, keywords, or other values that might be entered when recording a

command.
