Tutorial & Readme

・Add-ons Explained

Convert complex, repetitive tasks into one click!

You have to remember is "Add" & "Play" Only!

Supported Version : 2.83 to 2.91

Simplify complex repetitive tasks, which were difficult to do with the standard “Repeat Last”(Shift+R) function of Blender, by registering multiple actions.

You can register, edit and play back various tasks as you wish

For example, routine tasks like adding instant coffee, milk, and sugar while boiling water are converted to one click!

(I've thought about it a few times, but unfortunately this add-on only allows you to register work within Blender.)

Bug Report

Please send a DM with as much detail as possible about your Blender version, operating system, operation and error messages

If you get an error when you play Action, the macro you registered is probably not accurate

Try disabling or deleting macros

Functional Essentials

Currently, we are only accepting additional template command buttons.

Precautions

You can register macros with regularity, such as link select, deselect, select by specifying an object name, etc., but you cannot register actions that are important for the mouse cursor position.

If you need to make a new vertex selection, please register the action separately

(Link selection, expansion of the selection range, all selection, object name selection, etc. can be registered.

If you are unable to register the Macro, please see the Info window

This add-on allows you to copy and paste the Python code displayed in the Info

I can't register the Macro if there are no logs here such as bpy.ops

Finally

Exported command button files can be freely distributed and sold

You are responsible for any distribution problems and for downloading and executing the distributed actions at your own risk.
