Information & Examples for building User Overlays / Macros

Christian Nörenberg

Hi,

I built the following macro:
You can select a geometric parameter and a minimum & maximum.
With this function I can check whether the limits are feasible/valid or not.

I would like to add features to the interface like getting the reference value automaticly after selecting a parameter and view it in a disabled entry.

But to increase the functionality, I need more information about building macros and overlays.
In the end it might be better to build an user overlay because you can use more difficult interfaced, but I can't find any information for this topic. Only the small chapter in the memento file.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, unfortunately there is no additional document abut the macro creation. Also for the Overlay there is no documentation.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Best regards.
