I’ve been trying to setup a Startup Macro on my new work computer to define the startup material, brushes and brush settings but am having a bit of a problem in that it seems that a portion of the macro runs twice upon starting ZBrush. The startup macro does work and sets everything as I want but it runs through drawing the 3D object and then defining the brushes from there twice.
The Startup macro looks like this:
//ZBRUSH MACRO - Recorded in ZBrush version 4.5
[IButton,???,"Press to run this macro. Macros can be aborted by pressing the ëescí key.",

I read that changing the brush settings and then saving over the default brush would get around me having to define them in a startup macro but every time I try and save over a default brush, ZBrush crashes on startup.
Anybody have any ideas what is going wrong or how to remedy this?
