For most designers, Part 2: The 5 Pillars of E3D Macro Efficiency 1. Automated Primitive Creation Instead of manually clicking "Primitives -> Cylinder -> Enter coordinates," a macro can generate a complete structural node, nozzle, or stiffener in 0.5 seconds.
You can write a macro that:
-- Set graphical representation RPRES MASTER
