Documentation - API macro documentation

  • 1.  Documentation - API macro documentation

    Posted 02-23-2025 22:35

    Hello,
    I have installed the SDK, I have a working Visual Studio with python iron, I wrote my first "macro". But either I'm blind or I can't find the documentation for the macro API.

    Wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can find official/unofficial documentation for the macro API.

    Thank you very much for your help,
    Raim Holub

    There still is none.

    All we have is the Visual Studio object browser to search through the lightly documented SDK assemblies. Some old sample macros Sample TMLs (TBC version 5.90) (trimble.com). And the Welcome to Macros series you obviously already went through.

    That's all Trimble has managed to put together in the last 6 years or so, since TBC 5.0 with the macro language was released in 2018 I believe. You're entering a world of pain with lots of trial and fail.

    Thanks so much, how sad to hear this news. It's interesting that one of the biggest companies in GIS can't provide documentation for the macros API..
