Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Macros - Part 1 (Basics) Macro Basics What is a Macro?
| Macro definition: A macro is a script containing a set of other NeXtMidas commands. Macros can include procedures and subroutines. Macros are stored in a text file with the extension `.mm`. Macros are plain-text and can be edited with any standard text editor.
X-Midas Users Take Note:
NeXtMidas macros are plain text files with the extension `.mm` that get run directly. X-Midas macros use both `.txt` (plain text) and `.mcr` (compiled) extensions since X-Midas macros require compilation. NeXtMidas macros do not need to be compiled!
