Macro Guidelines

REQUIREMENTS:

1.) All macros must be documented according to the guidelines listed below.
2.) Macros can run on any version, provided you indicate
this in the read.me file described below.
3.) All files and directory names MUST be 14 characters
or less in length.
4.) Line lengths should be kept to 78 characters.
5.) DO NOT use path names starting with "/" for storage
tape. Please us the "./" convention (Relative backup).
6.) The submission must be on a DAT tape and in "tar"
format, OR electronically uploaded to the "pub" directory on this site.
7.) The macros must run on a DEFAULT system as it comes
from HP. They must NOT require separate customization.
8.) DO NOT submit new macros that change the interface
(look and feel) of the software.
9.) DO NOT submit copies of ME10, ME30, SolidDesigner,
etc.

GUIDELINES:

The following directory tree conventions will be expected:
./[product]/[command]/[company]/[submittername]/[file]

Example:

./me30_macros/machining/wells/rayburn/input_macros
./solid_macros/modify/leviton/enzler/macro_file
./me10_macros/create/wells/rayburn/read.me

NOTE: use lower case for all file/directory names.

As can be seen a TOTAL of THREE FILES to be submitted for EACH entry.

One file that inputs the macro into memory, one that contains all the macro definitions and one that explains the function and "Call structure" of the macro, i.e.: What macro starts the function and what other macros are used that are associated with the new function or command.

1.) PRODUCT

What product does this work with. Please use the following categories:

PRODUCT DIRECTORY CALL OUT

ME10 me10_macros
ME30 me30_macros
SolidDesigner solid_macros
WorkManager wrkmgr_macros
Other other_macros

2.) PRIMARY MENU OR TABLET COMMAND MACRO USES:

ME10 and/or ME30

create modify_2d dimension
parts_2d hatch modify_3d
text symbols file
setup plot delete
view workplane machining
3d_elems 3d_constr property
3d_port etc........

3.) COMPANY NAME:

your company name in lower case characters.

4.) SUBMITTERS NAME:

Your last name in lowercase characters.

5.) INPUT_FILE

All macros required must be loaded automatically using one input command. This input file could include multiple input commands. For example:

INPUT 'input_macros'

where the file 'input_macros' looks as follows:

DEFINE load_our_macros
INPUT './filename1'
INPUT './filename2'
INPUT './filename3'
END_DEFINE
load_our_macros
