 Topic: script file

How can I run a script file from a macro. I have made a working .scr file, but have not figured out how to get a macro to run it. I tried the ^c^c "c:\file location information\filename.scr" and it tried to run each line seperate, If I just use the popup and click to open it, it will run the commands fine Would appreciate your assistance.

I would think you could use your script file as a substitute for the macro.

Run the macro from the toolbar icon. Why do you need a script? Seems redundant.

I never could get the macro to work, but I did get the script file do do what I wanted. In using MicroStation, I have an Icon which will do the same as Zoom Extnets, Save both the file and the file settings and then close the file. I got a .scr file to do this, but could never figure out how to get the macro to preform these functions. I had the advantage in the Microstation VBA to record what I did and then go back and rename the recorded functions macro to something I wanted and then tie the recorded vba via run VBA "macroname" I am now assigned Autocad11 drawings to be done and I wanted to have some of the features I lost?
I was an electrician for over 40years and now I am a drafter, doing both types of drawings, only trying to learn short cuts. Thanks Richard
I will attach the .scr file if need to see

SAVE

close

That is what I have, is it possible to put comments in .scr files?

A macro to run a script should look more like:
^c^c_script;"c:\file location information\filename.scr";
or, without quotes
^c^c_script;c:\file location information\filename.scr;
and yes you can have comments in script file; start the line with a semicolon

When you show the ^C is that using the symbol above the 6 key and just a capitol C ? I did not get to work this week and have a chance to try it out, I do apprecate any assistane. Did 2002 allow .scr files? That is what I am running at hope. I never used any .scr until the company gave me 2011 to work with. I had been just doing Microstation up till then.
