I see there are many macro functions listed in the DeltaCad's user guide, is there a folder already holding these macros to navigate to through DeltaCad to run these functions or do I need to set them up manually ... separately ?
I hope this is the correct forum to post this too.

Thank you for your answer.
I am asking about the macro functions listed in the user guide, I was hoping to find a folder for them in the directory but there doesn't seem to be one.
dcAddLayer is listed for example in the layer functions, but doesn't seem to be installed , neither do any of the other functions listed?
So maybe I have to add them myself?

dcaddlayer is simply a command that is interpreted by deltacads borrowed "cypress" engine once it is run as a "batch" (*.bat) macro file. The word itself is not a stand-alone executable but rather is a programming word only. I am not a macro-writer but if you open the macro tab in Deltacad then select "create new macro" a dialog box will open for you to enter your programming script. Heck....if you type dcaddlayer "cynbell" (without any other required syntax) then press the F5 function key you will have created a layer in Deltacad called "cynbell"! Try it yourself. I think that you are expecting a macro-recorder that will automate keystrokes, but you won't find that in Deltacad.
