1 ED MACROS
Through the AutoCAD command prompt, you can execute a sequence of commands for Electrical
Designer by utilising macros.

Macro’s are only available for commands found within the ED Manager interfaces, and so are not
available for standard drawing tools, with one exception; this being the Update Blocks interface.
The macro number to activate UPB within a drawing can be found listed later in this chapter.

To activate a macro in ED you must enter a macro into the AutoCAD command line. The macro
numbers which when entered in a string will cause an action or actions to be carried out.

Later in this chapter you can find a list comprising the most common commands available in the
ED Manager interface, as well as their associated macro numbers.

The following chapter outlines, the different types of controls which macros are associated to, and
how to activate them.

1.1 Macro control types

There are several types of control that you should familiarise yourself with to employ macro’s to
their full advantage, these control types are outlined below.

Buttons

Checkboxes

Radial check

Lists

Pop downs

Field edition

These options are standard tools that you would normally employ when working within ED, and so
within macros; as a macro will allow you to simply automate any process that you carry out
manually. So that if you wanted to automate the editing of a set of drawing information cards, for
example; you would have to select a drawing from a list, select to edit the drawing information
card, select the fields you wanted to revise, fill in the revised data and Accept your changes. This
can easily be done, simply by entering the appropriate macro number for each “manual” step to
create a complete macro process.

-4-
1.2 Identifying a specific macro number
Every command option within the ED Manager has a macro number associated to it, the easiest
way to identify these macro numbers is simply to right mouse click over a specific icon, list, button,
checkbox, radial check, or pop down. When this is done a small interface will be displayed
relative to your mouse cursor, as illustrated below.

Here you can see that the macro number to activate the Fast Find option is 2474.

In the case of toolbar options, such as are found running along the top of the Browser interfaces,
the icon’s pop down description will include the macro number in brackets at the end of the
description itself as illustrated below:

This shows that to activate the Bill of Materials you should use the macro number 114.

1.3 Macro information types

When right clicking to obtain a macro number, it is sometimes the case that beyond the macro
number another option will be illustrated such as Type: this indicates the information type which
should be entered beyond the macro number in order to correctly activate it, as illustrated below.

Integer 2004
String “Enter Data Here”
Number 123.99 (with point)
Date “20020910” Where the date is between speech marks, indicating:
Year 2002
Month 09
Day 10
Of course any variation on this can be applied dependent upon
preferred date format.

1.3.1 Editing data contained in a list

Lists normally accept either strings or numbers, or may require both a string and number in order
to allow you to successfully select a listed item, for modification.

-5-
If you take the example of changing a terminals associated catalogue and reference through the
define parts table, you must be able to select the terminal you wish to modify from a list of
potentially thousands of terminals.

To do this you should enter the list that you wish to make the change in and right click to obtain
the Macro number and any other data that will be required to allow you to make your selection, as
illustrated below.

In this case you can see that the macro selection of the list is 2005, when this macro number is
used, ED will automatically default to the first terminal listed, by using the –1 option you are able
to effectively delete this selection, so that a macro string of 2005 –1 would be required.

If the –1 was not used you could make a multiple selection of items.

Furthermore ED indicates that the lists Main column is Symbol, so that to select your preferred
terminal you will need to enter 2005 again followed by either the terminals symbol name “X1 PE”
for example, to select the terminal X1 PE.

Alternatively you can enter a field index number, (the first item on the list being 0), of 3 to select
the fourth terminal on the list, for example.

This would make the entire macro:

(C:ELEC 702 33 2004 1 2005 –1 2005 “X1 PE” 2009 “WEIDMULLER” 2011 “0630400000” 2008)

702 Access project browser

33 Enter define parts
2004 1 Select the Terminal button
2005 -1 Deselect the active registry index
2005 “X1 PE” Select the terminal X1 PE, (this being the first encountered
in the list)
2009 “WEIDMULLER” Enter catalogue name into the catalogue Field
20011 “0630400000” Enter reference name into the reference Field
20011 “0630400000” Enter reference name into the reference Field
2008 Paste the catalogue and reference field information to the
selected element overwriting the existing data

-6-
1.3.2 Selecting an item from a pop-down
You are provided with two ways of selecting information on a pop down, you can either enter a
string, or a field index number, the latter is more difficult to employ in some cases as you must
know the exact location of the item you wish to select on each pop down list.

Illustrated above you can see the macro number and type of information required to activate a
reports language preference. An example of how to change to change the language is:

2005 “Chinese”

Where you want the report type to be generated in Chinese, alternatively you could use a field
index number 0 as Chinese is the first language on that pop down type.

1.3.3 Checking and deselecting checkboxes

This can be done very simply by entering a value of either 0 or 1 depending upon whether you
want a checkbox ticked or not.

Above you can see the macro number associated to a checkbox, and the number Type required,
by entering a macro:

2013 1

The checkbox will be ticked, by entering.

2013 0

The checkbox would be unchecked.

1.3.4 Checking and deselecting radial checks

The controls for these are very similar to checkboxes, however they have an increased numerical
range Type.

-7-
To activate a specific radial you need to enter a macro and a number to indicate your preferred
option. As with list field index numbers the first radial, (Spanish), would be 0, English 1, Dutch 2,
etc. So that by entering a macro of:

2001 5

You would select German as your language of choice.

1.3.5 Editing field data

It is possible to not only edit data that already exists in a field but also to add data to blank fields.

By the entering 2005 followed by a string and that the Main Column that will be used
You are able to create complex macro’s that will open edit and/or create data within the manager,
for example, where you need to enter data into fields or to locate specific item you should enclose
the text in speech marks.

The above macro allows you to create a new project to the DIN standard fill in some fields, create
a drawing and open it to allow you to commence work.
