Recording a Script to a File

Once users start to record a script, their subsequent actions are added to the script. Each interface com­mand has one or more associated script commands that are recorded to the script. The script is recorded to a text file in .py (Python) format.

Follow these steps to record a script to a file.

  1. Click Tools > Record Script to open an explorer window.

  2. Navigate to a selected directory to save the script. Then double-click the folder’s name.

  3. Type the name of the script in the File name text box.

  4. Click Save.

  5. The script is saved in the folder you selected by the file name (e.g., filename.py).

  6. Perform the steps that you want to record.

  7. When you have finished recording the script, click Stop Script Recording on the Tools menu.
