Hello fellow artisans and crafters.

A friend of mine keyed me into a couple helpful commands that you may or may not know about. They sure help me with the grind for crafting experience. And I thought I would pass them along.

You can load a draft schematic for your crafting tool with keyboard command (and hence a macro) using the following:

/selectDraftSchematic ##

The trick is to find the schematic number. This number changes as you list of available items changes. So next to crafting stations, different tools, and as you learn a new schematic may all change the number.
I found the number by opening the crafting tool to the select schematic step, then I typed /selectDraftSchematic 50 for example at the keyboard. This will load the schematic for some item. Now bring up your datapad (ctr-d), click the draft schematics tab, then click change view so it is in a list. DO NOT SORT THIS LIST. It is in the order necessary already. Find the schematic that your station loaded with the example you used. Then count up or down the list to the schematic you want. Say the schematic was 12 down the draft list in the datapad. Then backup your crafting station and type /selectDraftSchematic 62. This may take a few interations to zero in on the schematic you want. Keep in mind that this can change as I commented above.
It is a pain to find the schematic number, but it is worth the effort.

Now another nice command is the following:

/ui action toolbarSlot## (yes the S has to be capitalized)

The number is the for the function keypad user interface slot.
With ##=00 for F1 to ##=11 for F12, and if you have the functions expanded for two banks this continues to 23

So how does this help?

Example:
Put a crafting kit in say the F1 user slot and put the following macro into the f2 slot

/ui action toolbarSlot00
/selectDraftSchematic ## (the ## being your schematic you want to build over and over)

This will open your crafting kit and automatically select the grinding schematic you want to use. Now put up multiple crafting kits and multiple macros. It really helps with less mouse movement and “finding” the schematic in the list of items each time.

Hope this helps a few people. Good luck

This is really cool but sorta moot now that your crafting tool remembers the last schematic you used.

To grind nowI just make 1 armorweave segment being sure to select practice. if i keep the mouse in the correct spot its just a case of F1, enter, Double Click Double click, enter enter.

Of course now that the artisan mission terminals are hereI grind whilst running between the terminal and a bunch of waypoints to the easy to reach resources i have already saved :-)

Obviously you dont get as many items crafted but the extra cash more than makes up for it.

Is it possible to say macro other keystrokes aside from the function keys?

Let's say I wanted to open the radial menu in a macro assuming I have something targetted. Is there a written user interface that could be macroed like (and I am only guessing): /ui action ~ ?

Then you could go on to macro the corresponding # on the radial menu once it is open, like: /ui action 1 ?

Anyone?

I need help figuring out how toREVERT ASORTED DATAPAD LIST back to it's original order....Really is annoying that it doesn't go back to its original state after resort and close.

Example: Click on name in the list view and it rearranges everything.

I have no idea how to get it back to normal. I'll try logging in on a different system to see if it is specific to local config files.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks in advance,

I could never figure out which schematic was what number, so I wrote a macro to help me.

First, open your crafting tool, then run the macro. After each schematic appears not the number, and click BACK in the crafting tool. If you fail to hit back in five seconds, it won't work right. Click back after each schematic appears.

/selectDraftSchematic 0;
/say 0;
/pause 5;
/selectDraftSchematic 1;
/say 1;
/pause 5;
/selectDraftSchematic 2;
/say 2;
/pause 5;

etc, etc, for each number...

I have two of these that runs through my schematics and lets me know which one is which.

Hope this helps someone!
