Aveva E3d Macros _hot_ 🎁 High Speed

Automation requires decision-making capabilities. PML provides standard if-then-else blocks and do loops.

A key feature of the .NET framework is the ability to execute PML commands directly from C# code. By referencing the Aveva.Core.Utilities namespace and using the CommandLine.Command class, a developer can run any PML command from within a C# add-in. This hybrid approach allows you to leverage the UI and system-level power of .NET while still using the design-focused ease of PML.

There are two primary forms of PML used in E3D development: aveva e3d macros

This creates a 6m long IPE beam, offset 1.5m in Easting, oriented along the X-axis. No typing errors. No wrong specs.

Before diving into writing macros, it's crucial to grasp the engine that powers them: the Programmable Macro Language. Automation requires decision-making capabilities

Use -- to add comments to explain what each section of your macro does.

An AVEVA E3D macro is a script file containing a sequence of commands that the software executes automatically. These scripts interact directly with the E3D data structure, enabling users to create objects, modify attributes, and extract report data without manual menu navigation.

Never test a new, unverified macro in a live project production database. Always use a local "TRAINING" or "TEST" project to iron out bugs.
