Displaying Macro Definition File Settings

The File Settings dialog displays detailed information about a macro definition file to identify it on the MACROS list. The information is either set by the person who created the macro definition file or generated automatically.

File Settings

General
This sections lets you view general information on the file. It also allows you to change the file location and select the location type.
  • Name: Indicates the name of the macro definition file.
  • Size: Indicates the size of the macro definition file, in bytes or KB on disk.
  • Location: Indicates the full path of the current macro definition file.
      Note:
    • By default, the Location field displays the absolute path of the macro definition file.
  • Location Type: Indicates how the macro definition file path is saved into the project file.
    Absolute path
    Specifies the full macro definition file path saved into the project.
    For example:

    Project file path: c:\projects\project.xml.

    Macro definition file path: c:\files\macro.pdf .

    Absolute macro definition file path within project file:path="c:\files\macro.pdf".

      Note:
    • If you move the project file anywhere on your disk, without moving the macro definition file, the project file will still be able to locate the macro definition file. However, if the project file is moved on another disk, the macro definition file will not be found.
    Relative to project path
    Specifies the macro definition file path saved into the project, relative to the project path. When opening a project, the macro definition file path becomes the project path together with the relative path.
    For example:

    Project file path: c:\my work\project.xml.

    Macro definition file path: c:\my work\macro.pdf.

    Relative macro definition file path within project file: path="macro.pdf".

      Note:
    • If you move the project file anywhere on your disk, without moving the macro definition file, the project file will not be able to locate the macro definition file. However, if you move both project and macro definition files anywhere on the same disk or on another disk, the project finds the macro definition file.
    • By default, the Location Type is set to Relative to project path.
More Info
This section offers additional information on the macro definition file.
  • Definitions: Indicates the number of macro definitions included into the macro file.
    Note:
  • The values within these fields cannot be modified.
