Macro command to import a model

john_lute — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 18:52:46 GMT

When I run the macro I receive a translator error. When I import the same file, without the macro, the translator works fine.

// Create a list of files located in a specific folder
string LIST files = list_files("files","M:\LUTEJ1_Toolpaths\PN_103006\L00020_Build_Creo")

// Select a file from the list
INT x = INPUT CHOICE $files "Choose the desired Folder"

// Define a variable that includes the name of the file selected for import
string filename = $files[$x]

// Review file name selected, for testing only
print $filename
Macro pause $filename

// Import model
IMPORT MODEL FILEOPEN $filename
