Description

The Export Template tool provides a convenient mechanism to save commonly used Job definitions from within an existing Job. This facilitates the setup of future Jobs, that are largely similar, by allowing Job template import during the Job creation process.

The Edit → Preferences... → CAM → Job Preferences → Defaults → Template sets the default template.

Usage

  1. Select the CAM → Export Template option from the menu.
  2. Select elements for inclusion from the Export Template configuration dialog.
  3. The template must be saved in the Macro directory or the CAM directory, as configured in the CAM Preferences.
  4. The template name must follow the pattern of job_<template name>.json. When shown in the selection combobox, the job_ prefix and the extension are left out.
  5. Press the OK button and save the template.
