Aveva E3D macros are small programs or scripts that can be created and used within the E3D environment to automate tasks, modify data, and interact with the software's various components. These macros are typically written in a programming language, such as Visual Basic (VB) or C#, and can be used to perform a wide range of functions, from simple data manipulation to complex geometric calculations.

Tasks that take hours manually—such as bulk renaming or consistency checks—execute in seconds.

You forgot the exclamation mark ! .

Run a macro that loops through every equipment item in your site, checking for missing attributes (e.g., PURPOSE field empty) and outputs errors to a text file.

While PML's syntax is simple, the logic in a 50-line macro can be complex. Use ! at the start of a line to add comments. Good comments explain the "why" behind the code, not just the "what."

Another significant advantage is the customization and flexibility that macros offer. Users can tailor these macros to fit specific needs and tasks, providing a personalized experience that aligns with their workflow requirements. Additionally, Avaya E3D macros can contribute to better consistency in performing tasks. By standardizing processes through predefined macros, organizations can ensure uniformity in operations, which is particularly beneficial in environments where consistency is paramount.

For advanced setups, you can save your macros as functions or objects within the standard E3D search path ( PMLLIB ), allowing you to call them simply by typing the macro name in the command window. Common Use Cases for E3D Macros
