I foresee two different types of macro help in this section: macro strategy and code debugging.

Macro strategy help is when you need help to identify the proper sequence of PolyWorks commands at high level to solve your need for a macro.  When asking for help with macro strategy, make sure you clearly identify the situation with an extensive background to give us the best chance to help you solve your situation the first time.

Code debugging help is when you can?t get the code to perform exactly what you want without an error.  This can be very tedious to help each other.  Organize your code into sections. Please make use of programmer?s notes using #?s at the beginning of a line to describe each section as well, so we can see exactly what you were trying to do.

While macro writing can take some time to get comfortable with, it can save you a lot of time in the long run by streamlining your processes.
