Exporting Key Macros Without Launching the Key Macro Editor

To export key macros without launching the Key Macro Editor:

  1. In the iFIX WorkSpace, from the system tree or drawing area, click the object, picture, or user global page from which you want to export key macros.
  2. Click the Export Key Macros button on your toolbar.

NOTE: The Export Key Macros button is a custom toolbar option. If it does not display in your toolbar, you will need to add it.

The Export Key Macros dialog box appears. By default the Recursive (Include Children) check box is selected. This allows you to include key macros for all pictures and objects if you select the user global page, or all objects within a picture and the selected picture if you select a picture.

  1. In the File Name field, enter a path and name for the .CSV file. If you do not include a path, the .CSV file is saved to your iFIX directory.

If you enter or browse to an existing file name and click the Append to File check box, the key macros are added to the end of the existing .CSV file.

  1. Click Export.
