[harnstein]

Guys,

just digging out these threads

to see if within the last 2,5 years anything has changed towards a solution- which i maybe had overseen..

Would be great to push a record button, do several actions, press stop, maybe save it and reuse this macro again when needed- wouldn't it? No new invention, i know..

Oj just a "recall last tool" option which you can put on a shortcut would be a great timesaver as well (oh man, i'm getting so lazy..)

Thanks in advance

The complications of recording actions within the API should not be underestimated.
Have you thought about a 3rd party external tool that remembers keystrokes/mouse moves etc...
There are several freely available...

Great, i obviously missed that. Searched for sth. like this before- i'll give it a try, if it works fine it'll directly hop onto a shortcut.

Yes, i read that in the other related threads as well. Maybe one day.
I'll try out some of these free tools, maybe they can do some job-
i did't know they could track my actions within sketchup, eg. select certain face > offset > pull > bevel.
And maybe they can't

But good to know about what's possible and what's not.

Thanks, TIG!
