Is there a way to memorize a set of commands? In photoshop, I can memorize actions and it’s really helpful. I can hit a record button, then do things like resize the image to a certain size, add filters, move something a certain direction by a certain amount, etc., really anything, and it just records it. Then you can re-play those actions on any file or layer that you decide to use it on again.
So is there a way to do this in Rhino? I think it would be helpful for many things, but right now I am exporting from one software, and it would be nice to be able to move, rotate, etc., to reposition items to a different project origin point. It would be really cool to be able to export the objects as they update, then just hit a button and have them move into the right spot.
Well, not really recording - you can’t record a series of actions and then play them back. You can write and test macros - using the built-in macro editor (not yet in Mac Rhino) as well as store them as tools to be recalled via aliases or toolbar buttons.
My bad. I guess you can tell I’ve never used any macros. I’ve done scripting and plugins, though, and the systems work very well. I guess what I was thinking of is the way it’s possible to copy as much of the command history as you wish and paste it into an editor to get started on creating a macro.
I might also note that I’ve seen many examples on this forum of people who initially professed no knowledge nor any interest in scripting who decided to give it a try, and became proficient enthusiasts.
