Re: What do you use Action Recorder for?
I like to have it do simple things....
Change from the current layer to the Dim layer and then back to the original layer when placing a dimension
Change from the current layer to the Viewport layer when creating a new Viewport in PS and then back to the original layer
Add specific text to a dimension like (TYP) or MIN, MAX
Insert a specific block or leader/text that I use all of the time
Just upgraded to 2012 full version from 2009 and I guess the recorder files do not convert because all of my "simple things" do not work. Good way to purge the old !

For the first two, consider this add-on: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=6433
For #3, do you mean you want to pick an existing dimension and add the text?
For #4, you should be able to do this with a menu macro.

When I choose this action recorder command, I place a dimension and it adds the text automatically

When I choose this action recorder command, it enters into the insert command with the block on my curser waiting for me to place the block.
Just to clarify, I was answering the question (subject line) What do you use Action Recorder for? with my ideas of what actions i have recorded.
Thanks

Sorry, I misunderstood.
I took your last line to mean that these things did not work after your upgrade.

I use a dimstyle which includes the text.
Re: What do you use Action Recorder for?
I beleive that the Action Recorder would be much more useful if we could modify recorded macros.

Re: What do you use Action Recorder for?
Has anybody used the Action Recorder in 2013? Have some of the features improved? I am curious if this is something worth trying for fixing some exported Revit files.
Re: What do you use Action Recorder for?
I actually just discovered it and have set it up to freeze and thaw some layers that i want on and off at different times. Then i went into my PGP file and set a shortcut to turn on the Action Recorder Manager. Now it is key stroke A, and then the menu comes us and then i select my action to play.
