This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

• <step>UserMacros.SetCurrentMacroFromUserNumber(1)</step> makes the macro with the usernumer 1 current, i.e. selects it. Change the number if you want to export another macro.
• <step>UserMacros.Export(UserMacros.CurrentMacroId)</step> actually exports the previously selected macro - all the file handling is done in this function

See also http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5733 for hints on exporting more macros.

1. make this macro available
2. create another macro and give this macro usernumber 1
3. find the Export macro in the show library or via <Macro> [View All] and execute (click) it
4. open Windows explorer and navigate to your usermacro location
5. there you'll find a file named Macro1.xml - this is the exported macro
