Module Code Window

The code window of the created module appears after defining project properties and creating the module in
the Macro editor.
The module’s code window appears as a text editor. The window displays the automatically created program
template with declared references, namespace, class and procedure.
To create a simple macro, you can write just one procedure. Follows below is a macro source code written in
the C# programming language. This macro creates a construction entity – circle and a text string snapped to a
node and wrapped on the circle.
// Declaring references
using System;
using TFlex;
using TFlex.Model;
using TFlex.Model.Model2D;
// Declaring class
public class NewMacroClass
{
// Declaring procedure (macro name)
public static void CreateText()
{
//Creating document object – the currently active document
Document document = TFlex.Application.ActiveDocument;
// Opening block of document changes
document.BeginChanges("Creating text");
// Creating text object– string text
LineText text = new LineText(document);
// Creating free nodes in the document, with the coordinates (150,100) and (150,140)
FreeNode node1 = new FreeNode(document,150,100);
FreeNode node2 = new FreeNode(document,150,140);
// Creating circle by the center and a point to pass through
CircleConstruction circle = new CircleConstruction(document);
