To Insert a Base Point into an Action Macro

Inserting a base point in an action macro establishes a point using absolute coordinates, which can then be used by the relative coordinates that follow the base point in the action macro. During the playback of an action macro, a request to specify new coordinates is made by default for each base point in the action macro.

Note: In the Action Tree, you can right-click a base point and disable Pause for User Input. This eliminates the default behavior of the base point from requesting new coordinates during playback.
