D 6 Macro

Graphic objects can be grouped together and stored as a macro. Macros are available
anywhere in an entire project and can be used as many times as desired in graphic displays.
Subsequent changes to a macro effect all displays in which the macro was used.
A macro consists of any combination of static and dynamic graphic objects. All attributes of the
objects contained in the macro can be defined as macro parameters. Each time a macro is
used, these attributes, which are part of the macro definition are stored; all the values specified
as parameters can be individually adjusted at each instance of the macro's use.
Macros can be saved in libraries and thus be made available for other projects. Similarly,
macro libraries can be loaded, in order to make one or all of their macros available in the
current project. Library files have the extension .BOL.
During the installation of DigiTool two macro libraries are copied into the directory
<freelance>/macros. The graphics in the standard macro library hb_sym01.bol are described in
After installation of DigiTool this library is found at: <freelance>/macros/hb_sym01.bol
Appendix - Graphics Macro Library, page D-101. The library ufp_sym1.bol contains macros
that simplify the creation of user-defined faceplates; these macros are described in the DigiTool
1 manual, Section H – User-defined function blocks.
