A great analogy for PML is the "action recording" feature in software like Photoshop or Excel. You can record a sequence of operations and then play them back. However, as a language, PML allows for complex logic: you can include conditions (IF/ELSE), loops (DO/WHILE), and variables to create smart scripts that can make decisions based on the design context.
When a project shifts from FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) to detailed engineering, naming conventions often change. A macro can loop through thousands of valves or instruments, strip old prefixes, and apply new standardized tags instantly. Bulk Coordinate Export Share public link Create scripts that scan the
Do not use PAUS in a macro unless absolutely necessary. It kills automation. Use PROMPT instead to ask for input before the macro runs.
