Job Templates provide a convenient way to streamline the setup of Path Jobs.

# Creating a Template
1) Create a Job and configure it as you normally would.
2) Select the Job node in the tree and right click to display the context menu. Select the menu item to 'Export Template'
3) The template configuration dialog is shown. Select which items you want included in the template.
4) Click OK and save the template. The template name must follow the pattern of job_<some name>.json When shown in the selection combobox, the job_ prefix and extension will not be shown. To be accessible to Path, the templates should be saved into your Macro directory or Path Directory as configured in Path Preferences.

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.

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.
