Hi everyone,

I'm on TBC 2025.21 with a full Survey Advanced license. No custom macros (including the tiny TestMacro.py below) are appearing in the F12 All Commands pane.

I have:

• Placed the .py file(s) directly in C:\ProgramData\Trimble\MacroCommands3\
• Given "Users" Full Control permissions on the folder
• Deleted MacroCommands3.dict multiple times
• Restarted TBC
• Run "Set Ribbon Tabs → Reset to Defaults"

AllTerra NZ support also tried the macro on their end and couldn't get it to load either. They suggested posting here.

Test macro I tried (doesn't appear):

import clr
for asm in ['Trimble.Vce.Core']:
    try: clr.AddReference(asm)
    except: pass
from Trimble.Vce.Core import *

class TestMacro:
    def __init__(self, project): self.currentProject = project
    def Execute(self):
        print("✅ TEST MACRO RAN SUCCESSFULLY!")
        Client.ShowMessage("Test macro worked!", "Success")

def CreateCommand(project):
    return TestMacro(project)

I'm trying to achieve a very simple task: loop through all Total Station observations and write the Azimuth (degrees) and Horizontal Distance as User Attributes on the foresight point.

Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
