<sidebar>Sidebar: What Is a Macro?</sidebar>
Macros you create can be exported to a file for later use by importing the macro in another project.
Select the Export option from the Macro menu (Macro > Export...).
Flowcode will then ask you to select the macro you wish to export and then ask you for a filename to save the file.
Flowcode macros are exported with the file extension .FCM
If the 'Read Only' option is checked then the exported macro will be locked and unable to be edited when importing into other Flowcode program.
If the 'Private' option is checked then the macro will be classed as 'hidden' when importing the macro. The macro will not be shown to the rest of the flowchart program and will not be publicly available - these macros are for private and internal use only.
By default all macros are for private use and are 'hidden'. This is to let Flowcode know which ones to expose, the Interface Manager needs to be used to declare any or all of the macros as public - either simulation only or downloadable 'component macros'.
