ACTM is an Action Macro file used by AutoCAD, a building design and drafting software. This type of file contains macros which are saved sets of commands and instructions that can automate simple repetitive as well as complex tasks. It is created for the purpose of saving time by using the script to perform repetitive tasks.ACTION macro files are often generated when a user record commands as part of an AutoCAD Action Recorder session.
Types of Macros
The most common type of macro that is automated using ACTM files is the menu macro. They are created for the purpose of selecting a pre-defined sequence of commands from a menu or toolbar. These menu macros can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts and other triggers such as mouse click events. Additionally, ACTM files may also contain drawing layout macros which cause the layout tab and viewport settings to change based on predefined input metrics. Other kinds of macros include object edit macros, hatch outline macros, objective macro linked with external text documents, true dynamic blocks, and dynamic block panels.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions associated with AutoCAD include .DWG. .DWS, .DXF, .ORA, and .SV$.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ACTM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ACTM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ACTM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ACTM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ACTM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ACTM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ACTM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ACTM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ACTM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ACTM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
