My Insights: Macro Advisor

Macro insights are suggested command macros intended to help you be more productive.

A command macro contains a sequence of commands and system variables that help to automate tasks you perform frequently when working in AutoCAD. AutoCAD generates macro insights based on your unique command usage. Use the Command Macros palette to view, try, and save suggested command macros. Command macros can be added to the Saved tab of the Command Macros palette for use and then even added to the ribbon.

Note: This feature is supported on AutoCAD only at this time and is not available for AutoCAD-based toolsets. In addition, you must have a commercial license and be on the named user plan to receive insights. Learn more
