Support for Custom Documentation
Enhanced support for custom documentation is now supported for scripted contexts. Using the F1 key can be linked to the documentation packaged with the extension.
MacToExtension Tool
The command-line utility MacToExtension tool will convert a HyperMesh macro menu file (.mac) to an extension. Once the extension is loaded, a new menu will be created with the extension name.
Note: This tool will provide a functional drop-down menu with a flat hierarchy. To have a polished extension, additional work is required.
