In your software, macros will be automatically saved in a specific directory. This macro directory is preset and you can't change it. Use the Export Macros... command to save a macro from your software in a directory of your choice. The command also sets up a copy of the macro file in the export directory.
You will find the command in the Macro Management menu. To open this menu, click the Macro Management 
button in the Macro Manager tool window's toolbar.

Why export and import macros?
Exchanging macros between several software licenses
Macros will be saved on the PC on which your software has been installed. Should you have several software licenses, you can, of course, also use a macro with another PC on which your software has been installed. To do this, export the macro, then import the macro file onto the other PC again.
Making backup copies
A macro will be automatically saved as soon as the recording of the macro has been finished, or after you have made changes in a macro. In this process however, the existing macro will be overwritten. Should you want to protect a complex macro from being inadvertently overwritten, you can export the macro as a file. Then you can import it again at any time.
