Adding Macro Rules to the Project

To add macro rules to a project:

Go to the Insert tab and select Macro from the Structure category to insert macros into the project.
Select the content area to define a rectangular or square region.
Edit the properties from the Insert Macro Rule dialog.

The MACROS LIST from the left side of the dialog box displays the macro definitions list from the imported macro XML, while the PROPERTIES section of the dialog lets you configure the properties for each macro definition.

To configure a macro definition property:

On the left side of the dialog box, in the MACROS LIST section, browse for the macro definition you want to add and select it.
Edit the property for the macro rule.
The properties on the left side of the PROPERTIES section, Macro ID, Name, and Description, are available for all macro definitions, while the properties on the right side change, based on the macro definition you select.
- Macro ID: read-only field.
  - Macro ID is filled automatically, based on the macro definition you select.
- Name: optional field.
- Description: optional field.
  - The Name and Description information is not displayed into the control file.
Click INSERT.
