[REQ] Macro / Action Recorder

bagatelo · 2 Apr 2009, 23:05

A thing that I like in Modo, in Photoshop, in Illustrator, in Microsoft Word, in Microsoft Excell, VUE xStream, is the possibility to record and to execute macros or actions. Would something like that be possible in Sketchup?

Isn't this independent of a particular application? I mean, isn't there a "universal" macro recorder that works for any piece of software?

Maybe you should dream a little about the possibilities. We could record a macro of our action as resizing an object, or starting from one plane, the program to accomplish a series of operations as offset, extrude, delete faces etc, generating a window with same particularities, but with appropriate dimensions for any dimension.

there's a recent topic that's along these lines..

not about a macro recorder rather a GUI for making scripts.

@jim
here's a universal recorder and sketchup.. you'll see that i had to lock the orientation of the 2nd circle and that's where things went haywire. [everything after the still shot of the ring is being done automatically]
