Edit Macros

You may edit macros created on the Compatible Units tab in the ArcFM System Favorites Manager tool. This tab is available only to users with Designer installed and a valid Designer license activated.

When creating a new macro favorite, you may only edit the Work Function and any Extended Data associated with the Compatible Unit. You may edit fields on the GIS Unit.

Select the geodatabase in the ArcCatalog Table of Contents.
Click Favorites icon on the ArcFM Solution toolbar OR right-click and select ArcFM Favorites from menu to display the ArcFM System Favorites Manager.
Select the Compatible Units tab. This tab is available only if you have Designer installed and a valid Designer license activated.

Right-click a Macro and select Edit Macro.
Select a CU in the macro and edit its attributes or edit the properties associated with the macro (e.g., Description, Snap Like Feature).
Click OK to save and close the dialog.
Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog.
Click Apply to save edits and retain the dialog.
Click Create Copy to save a copy of the macro and retain the original as well. If you do not change the description, you will have two macros named exactly the same.

If you attempt to edit the System Favorites folder while it is being edited by another user, you will receive a warning message but will still be able to edit and save changes.

For example, User 1 is editing System Favorites and User 2 opens System Favorites for editing. User 2 will receive a warning message, but can still edit and save the System Favorites. However, if User 1 finishes editing and saves after User 2, the edits made by User 2 are lost. The last save overwrites all previous changes to the System Favorites folder.

If you wish to view edits made by another user, you must Stop Editing (without saving changes) and Start Editing again. This refreshes the System Favorites folder.
