I tried yer suggestion Elyssa. Works like a charm. Thanks tons. And ter right, you can only show them, after that, sit back, crack a cold one, and watch them run in circles.

whenever i try this it hangs at the draft schematics page, not going to the input resources page. im running
/ui action defaultButton;
/nextcraftingstage;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
etc etc
any ideas what im doing wrong?

Be sure to put a /pause before the defaultButton command.
DO NOT put a nextcrafting stage immediately after it. The defaultbutton command is advancing your tool for you.
Once you activate the crafting tool, it has to completely load up before you give it that command or otherwise it just skips it.
The selectdraftschematic method forces the crafting tool to craft a particular item so it doesn't have to wait for the tool to completely open.
The defaultbutton method presses the "next" button for you so the tool has to be ready to accept the input.
You can experiment with the time delay to get it just right. I find about 0.5 - 1 sec is enough.
The added delay is more than offset by the convenience of not having to guess your schematic number.
/ui action toolbarSlot00; <-- Selects your crafting tool
/pause 1;<-- Wait for it to load
/ui action defaultButton; <-- Automatically press the "Next" button
/pause 4;<-- Wait for you to load the resources
/nextcraftingstage;<-- Finish the item and close the tool
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/pause 1;<-- pause just a second before continuing
/ui action toolbarSlot00; <-- Selects your crafting tool
/pause 1;<-- Wait for it to load
/ui action defaultButton; <-- Automatically press the "Next" button
/pause 4;<-- Wait for you to load the resources
/nextcraftingstage;<-- Finish the item and close the tool
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/pause 1;<-- pause just a second before continuing

This macro works great when your not by a crafting station, but I can't get it to work for advanced schematics 
It used to work fine when i was beside a crafting station, but that was long ago, is there a way to make it work for when using a station?

Try adding an extra /nextcraftingstage; to it.
It won't hurt when you're not near a station and should add the extra step that pops up when you are near one.

Raven, she simply tried explaining to you that while your way would work, there is a much simpler method that works very well also. You just kept on posting your very long macros that you need to alter every so often, seemingly ignoring what she was telling you. I really don't think she was trying to be rude.
And for what it's worth, I used to do it the way you do it. Then I found out about the /ui defaultButton command, and have since grinded every crafting profession except shipwright and chef, grinding doctor twice and architect twice, using the simpler method. *shrugs* if you're happy with your method more power to you. Others will usually prefer a simpler method though.

You need to go through the motions of crafting the first item.
Open the tool.
Select the item.
Hit Next.
Use the "x" to close the tool.
NOW run your macro.
I'd shorten your first /pause if your tool opens fast enough.
Basically, if it opens and sits for a couple of seconds your first pause is too long.

There shouldn't be a space between toolbarSlot and the number. Like "toolbarSlot00".
Try that.
Try that.

D'oh!
You're right.
That's what happens when I type from memory.
I'll go back and edit.

and if you do use the long macros, instead of hard-coding the /selectdraftschematic [number] command, have it instead call a mini-macro like.. /macro draftnum which then contains your /selectdraft command.. so you only have to change it one spot
