: A mapkey that runs perfectly in interactive Creo fails when used with Creo Distributed Batch.

The combination of mapkeys, OS scripts, and trail files creates a flexible automation pyramid—simple operations use basic mapkeys, more complex tasks leverage OS scripts, and the most sophisticated workflows integrate all three approaches. As you develop your Creo automation expertise, start with simple examples and gradually build toward the advanced techniques demonstrated here. @SYSTEMstart /min C:\Scripts\my_batch
