To speed up the design process users can save a collection of units and other objects together as a Macro. For example, a macro can be a bathroom arrangement where both cabinets and mirrors are grouped together to make up a finished module, saving the user from having to position the objects individually.
This article has guidance on Creating and Using macros. For more information also see How to edit or delete a macro.
NOTE! In Winner Flex the Macro catalogue is shared between the company. As such when one person is editing or creating a Macro other users will be locked out of creating or editing a Macro.
NOTE! Once catalogues have been migrated from Winner Design (legacy) to Flex, any further Macros created in Winner Design (legacy) will not be migrated to Flex.
