Macros

A macro is a sequence of actions (menu or icon selections) that is recorded and stored for re-use.  Not all actions in the user interface can be included in a macro.  Macros can execute a single or a string of commands and obtain information with a query.  Geomagic macros are comprised of a name and series of parameters that define the behavior of the macros.
