possible to record macro's in Inventor?

Hi all,

Is it possible to record macro's in Inventor and do you need special applications for it? i'm no programmer but I'm doing something very repetitive and I was wondering how i can ease my job...

Thank you!

what's the repeatitive commands?

__edit__

example of a simple lisp

(defun c:ad-pu nil
 (command "audit" "yes")
 (command "-purge" "b" "*" "n")
 (princ)
)

I suggest you ask for help in the autolisp/visuallisp/dcl forum.

Huh?

I suggest you ask for help in the autolisp/visuallisp/dcl forum.

I think you are lost. This is the Inventor forum. We don't lisp.

See the Tools tab.

Not lost at all. I was reading up on solidworks vs inventor when I came across this post. I heard you can run lisp with inventor... correct? I wanted to throw the suggestion of lisp out there

We don't lisp.

I'm not looking for an argument, just curious. Why not? Is there something better for inventor

My boss was talking about putting me on inventor along with cad.

Its just not supported. Running lisp or scripts is something that was done in Acad, but the VBA(visual basic for applications) is more powerful. Rather you have more tools at your disposal and can make the user interface more interactive. Im not sure but i think Acad is going the way of VBA and getting away from script and lisp routines as well.

When i've putten several parts or subassemblies in an assembly, I want to do:

Iproperties - Occurence - Current Offset From Parent Assembly Origin: and there I want to set X-offset, Y-offset, Z-offset to zero to put all my elements in position.

I don't see any recorder in the VBA-editor. Maybe I should look somewhere else for the code to do this? (I'm not a programmer myself, although I'd like to learn a bit about it)

Thanks!
