Running the Macro File into Model

  • Last UpdatedMar 06, 2026

The output from Import-STL is a macro file, ready to be read into the Model module. The following procedure is used:

STEP 1

Start up Model, if it’s not already running and make sure that the database is at the appropriate ZONE level.

STEP 2

Read in each MAC file as:

$m <filename>

Large MAC files should be read into Model with Model in 'dev tty' mode and entering the command 'trace off' before the read command.

Reading in the macro may take some time, especially with large files.
