The default automation line type is "loop".

Every automation line contain a drop-down list of all the automation line types, changing this drop-down value will transform this line to the selected automation line type.

Automation Lines can be removed/disabled with the trash icon button/disable checkbox.

Automation Line Names

Automation Lines can use other automation lines by referencing its names.

Some lines contain a value of a certain type (text/number/layer/item and more), in order to pass their value to other automation lines every automation line that contains a value have a unique name that can be seen in other lines, the name represent the current value of the automation line with this name. the types of automation lines with value and name are loop, message, listbox, Variable.

It is important to remember that an Automation Line name can represent different value at different times. for example the name of the loop automation line type automatically represent different value every cycle.

Renaming Automation Lines

Every new line(loop, message, listbox, variable) is created with automatically generated unique name so it's recommended to rename the automation line name for a clearer name so the automation will be more readable.

Coloring Automation Lines

You can color every automation line with the paint tool, coloring the lines helps understanding the functionality of the automation, by splitting the lines to a number of steps with different color other users can find each step and understand faster how the automation works.
