Allows you to read in an existing command file containing the commands to be executed as a macro. You can also assign a help file or text string to the macro that explains the macro's use.

For the option:	Do the following:
Macro Name	Enter the name of the macro that Adams View uses to save the macro in the Modeling database.
File Name	Enter the name of the file containing the commands to be executed.
User Entered Command	Specify the command string that executes the macro. The command string defaults to the name of the macro if you do not enter a command sting. Note: The command string you enter must be unique. You cannot redefine an existing command, although you can add a new keyword at any level to an existing command.
Wrap in Undo	Specify if the entire macro can be undone with a single Undo command. Note that a single Undo, while convenient, can consume a great deal of memory for very large macros or slow macro execution noticeably, even if you do not actually use the Undo.
Create Panel	Select Yes if you want to create a dialog box, or select no if you do not want to create a dialog box.
