Creating a macro in Sketchup pro
What Macro tool are you referring to? SketchUp doesn’t have a “macro tool.”
Answering an open ended question/statement
I’m sorry I think I asked the wrong group. I am using Sketchup with 3DConnexion’s SpacePilot Pro. As one of the button assignments, on the SpacePilot is creating a new macro as one of the options.
Maybe one of the forum members may have run into this problem.
Sorry for the delay, its summer and I have a lot of outside work to do.

You shouldn’t take the existence of a “Macor” button on the SpacePilot Pro as an indication that there’s a way to record macros in SketchUp. You may be able to record a set of button presses on the device but that’s not the same as recording a macro in SketchUp.
Following up on @DaveR‘s post, SketchUp has no supported macro capability and does not offer an external automation interface. To a large degree this is because SketchUp is not command driven. It works via Tools accessed via the visual, interactive GUI.
Thank you for clarifying. Is it possible to suggest a tool that does this function in the next update (spacer tool)?
Yes, it is possible to make suggestions for new functions or tools in SketchUp. That’s called a feature request and there is a special category for those on this forum.
So, start a new topic on the feature request part of the forum explaining what it is exactly that you are missing in SketchUp and don’t post in unrelated topics as this one…
Ok thank you.
