So i use x7 for my work for laser engraving\cutting , and i was hoping to find a list of free macros for x7 that performs some simple - yet repetitive and time consuming tasks
- a macro that rotates an object 90 dgrees
-a macro that rotates selected objects 90 dgrees each by it's anchor point
-a macro that paste an object in the center of the veiw
-a macro that saves a view , give it a shortcut so that whenever you hit the shortcut , it zooms to that view
-a macro that arrange a group of object's in a selected rectangle in a way that saves materials - i think it's called nesting- , this could be a hard one
-a macro that gives more options for editing curves ( creating arcs between 2 circles , slicing curves , fit objects to curves .. etc )
edit 1 :
-a macro that saves objects colors ( fills and outlines ) with shortcuts , by hitting the shortcut it automatically apply the saved fill and outline
-a macro that that works as dimension , but by selecting an object or group of object then running that macro , will automatically draw the dimensions of the object around it
also any macro that you can remember for x7 that's free , is welcomed to be posted
the reason i ask for free macros is because most of these paid macros are hard to purchase ( requires a visa , which i don't own )
thanks in advance
I tried the view manager , while it's fine .. but I'm looking for something that could do the same thing , but also with shortcuts as a way to change views , and if possible naming that view as well
for example we do make -sometimes- multiple products in one page , when we show the client or even our boss what we've made , it takes some time to swap between products , it also happens when we try to find stuff that are lost ( in the sea of objects ) that we make , so going through the view manager to change the view takes kind of the same time as just zooming out and in again , but with shortcuts , it,s gonna be much easier
anyway , your macro is more helpful than the view manager as it is , so if you would kindly make it available , I think it'll help a lot of ppl including me
I wish it was that simple , but it isn't
i can't explain my situation here , since that could give me trouble , but in short its not gonna work ( making a visa or PayPal account ) for myself
also , I work in a company that make laser cut products and they use x7 as their main program for designing products , so I have suggested these macros for them ( e-cut and cadintools
they refused to purchase them by saying it's not needed and manual work was working just fine before I started working there , they even refused to purchase those macros with my own money , oh and BTW 99% out of the ppl that I know don't have visa/PayPal accounts , and those who do I can't ask them to do that for a lot of reasons
that's why I'm trying to make a list for me and everyone that are in the same situation
that's weird , when i run the paste in center macro in x7 it gives me an error , i used the same macro that you're using
Thanks for this information. It useful
