When creating shapes, in order to make a symmetrical look (e.g. circle shape with left fixtures turning clockwise, right fixtures turning counter-clockwise) you need to (1) select half of the fixtures, (2) reverse the shape for them, (3) offset them by 180°, and (4) restart the shape to see the effect. This macro does everything (for a predefined number of fixtures at least - there are macros for other fixture quantities as well).

• Editor.Shapes.ProgrammerShapesList
• Editor.Shapes.SelectAllShapes
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Integer
• Command.RunCommand
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Boolean
• Editor.Shapes.Reverse
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Double
• Programmer.RefireProgrammer
• Selection.Context.Global.ClearPatternSelect

• Editor.Shapes.ProgrammerShapes.Empty
• Editor.Shapes.EditShapesEmpty
• Editor.Shapes.Spread
• Selection.Context.Global.RepeatPattern
• Editor.Shapes.PhaseOffset
• Programmer.CurrentProgrammerIds

• condition
