Dialog call:File > Settings > User > Graphical editing > Macros
In this dialog you define the user-specific settings for graphical editing of macros.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
Include nested macro boxes when inserting:
This functionality is important in particular when you work with macros that have been combined in a superior macro box. These so-called "nested" macros are used mainly at the designing of fluid schematics.
If the check box is activated, the original path and file name of the macro in the Macro (ID 20468) property field is retained at all the functions of the subordinate macros that are combined in the superior macro box.
If the check box is deactivated, the name of the superior macro box is entered at all the functions of the subordinate macros in the Macro (ID 20468) property.
Note:
You can carry out a part selection at the functions and use the name of the subordinate macro as an automatic filter in the process. To this purpose the corresponding file names of the macros have to be stored at the parts to be selected.
Group box "Open value set selection dialog for placeholder objects"
Placeholder objects that were inserted into macros can contain value sets. Here you determine whether the selection dialog for value sets is displayed during the insertion of such macros.
If this check box is selected, the Select value set - <Placeholder name> dialog opens when window macros or symbol macros with placeholder objects are inserted.
Note:
If this setting is activated, the value set selection is also opened during the copying and pasting of placeholder objects as well as of window and symbol macros with placeholder objects.
If this check box is selected, the Select value set - <Placeholder name> dialog opens when page macros with placeholder objects are inserted.
Note:
This setting has no effect on the copying and pasting of project pages with placeholder objects. During such an action the value selection is not opened.
