Macros > Macro structure and syntax

Vision supports a number of individual calculations. Sometimes, however, you may want to make a particular calculation several times in quick succession, changing the input data slightly each time. To enable you to do this, Vision is provided with a programming language: a macro language.

The Vision macro language supports:

•commands

•objects

•values

•variables

•attributes

•standard objects

A Vision macro consists of commands, followed by parameters, attributes and variables.

Lines beginning with // are ignored and may contain comments.

Commands, variables, objects, attributes and values are not case sensitive. However, object names and selection names are case sensitive.
