Execute a Macro

Execute a macro from the Macro view using the controls in the toolbar or by right-clicking the macro in the Browser and selecting from the context menu. From left to right, the toolbar icons include:

"Create Macro" - creates a new macro. The Macro Workspace is displayed empty with only the "Steps" tab in focus.
"Run Macro On Steps" - executes the "On Steps" of the selected macro. The macro icon in the Browser changes color to reflect the on steps status.
"Run Macro Off Steps" - executes the "Off Steps" of the selected macro. The macro icon in the Browser changes color to reflect the off steps status.
"Cancel Macro" - inactivates and cancels the selected active macro.
"Cancel All Macros" - cancels all active macros

Tip: You can simulate the macro from the Program/Simulate view by right-clicking on the macro text in the Browser and selecting the macro action from the context menu.

Macro Status

When a macro is executed, the icon next to the macro name in the Browser indicates the macro status in color. Default colors and status include:

Blue = the macro is running
Gray = the macro is either off or is inactive
Green = the macro is "on"

In addition, the status of the selected macro displays in the Property Editor.
