Problem: I have a few macros that I run frequently. What is the easiest way to access them?
Solution: You can add your macro to the Quick Macro Panel so it is easily accessible from the Scripting menu under Quick Macros. You can even define a keyboard shortcut to execute the macro.
For example, the following macro function will create a new 3D ordered zone:
$!MACROFUNCTION
NAME = "Create 3D zone"
SHOWINMACROPANEL = TRUE
KEYSTROKE = "C"
$!CREATERECTANGULARZONE
IMAX = 10
JMAX = 10
KMAX = 10
X1 = 0
Y1 = 0
Z1 = 0
X2 = 1
Y2 = 1
Z2 = 1
XVAR = 1
YVAR = 2
ZVAR = 3
$!ENDMACROFUNCTION
To install it into the Quick Macro Panel, copy the code into the tecplot.mcr file found in the Tecplot 360/Focus installation directory. After saving the file, open Tecplot 360/Focus and press CTRL+M, release the keys, then press the C key. This will create a new 3D ordered zone and display it.
