macro... newbie question (?)

Hi all,

I would like to have a macro that does the following - probably a simple thing (I hope) but I have not ever made a macro before in SWX and don't really know where to start...  So, If you can teach a man to fish, that would be better than giving a man a fish, right?

My drawing template has a 3 place decimal set for my dimension's primary precision.  I like this, but most drawings I create have some 2 decimal dimensions - sometimes a lot of them.  I would like to be able to easily (like hit a hotkey) change a newly placed or selected dimension(s) to a 2 place decimal.

Does a macro record mouse moveent and mouse clicks?  Is it acurate and stable?  As I type this, it sounds like a stupid question, but I did already tell you that I am a macronoob)

Are macros limited to being activated by one key stroke?  (i.e. "s" or "m" or "ctrl-b")  Can I assign "d2" to launch a macro?  (there is some muscle memory from another CAD pkg that I would like keep and save from retraining... )

Thanks a lot!
