Operation Manual

Figure 341: Choose library import options
4) Select the following options for importing libraries:
a) If no options are selected, the library is copied to your user macro directory. However, if
the library you are importing has the same name and you are importing into the same
location, it will not be copied.
b) Select Replace existing libraries if the library you want to import has the same name
and you want to replace the existing library.
c) Select Insert as reference if you want to use the library as reference, but not import the
library into your document. When a library is used as a reference, it remains in its
current location and is read only.
5) Click OK to import the macro library you selected.
Downloading macros to import
Macros are available for download. Some macros are contained in documents, some as regular
files that you must select and import, and some as macro text that should be copied and pasted
into the Basic IDE. See “Adding a macro” on page 336 on how to add macros to your macro library
and “Viewing and editing macros” on page 339 on how to edit macros using the Basic IDE..
Some macros are available as free downloads on the Internet (see Table 6).
