A useful tool, which was included in MicroStation J, from version 7.01 onward, is the RUNMACRO mdl. This clever mdl allows you to automatically run a macro, or a list of macro’s, every time you open a design file. This tool is available from DeveloperWare.
| 1. | In MicroStation go to Workspace -> Configuration -> Design Applications: Add the mdl "runmacro" to the list of applications to load. |
2. |
Make sure that the macro that you wish to run resides in one of the directories listed in the MS_MACRO config variable. (Find it easily by going to Workspace -> configuration -> Primary Search Paths -> Macros). |
3. |
Add a new config variable MS_DGNMACROS (if it does not already exist) and enter the name of your macro file as the value. You can specify more than one macro run as a design application by just adding their names to the list in MS_DGNMACROS |
4. |
Save your user configuration and restart MicroStation for the changes to take effect. |
