Search Sets: Search in - Import/ Export/ Transfer to other projects

Hi,

 

Is it possible to import/ export search sets and maintain the "Search in" options? My NWC files always have the same name. 

For example, I want to have one set that looks for Floors only on my ARC model. Then another one that only looks for Floors on my STR model. And the last one looks on all NWC models.

When I export the XML it doesn't mention anything about the files to look into.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

I'm bringing the NWC files from the cloud, so their source file names are different every project. The given names ARC/ MEC/ STR are not maintained... And even looking at the properties, there is nowhere that mentions the given names.

I'm guessing the best way would be having the source file name as a criteria to all search sets, export these sets to XML as a template and, for each project, bulk edit the source file names on that XML. Or simply manually adjusting the "Search In" to every project.

 

Thanks,
