Import multiple toolpath strategies at once

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to import multiple toolpath strategies into a powermill file at one time using a macro. For instance, I have a macro that exports every toolpath into a folder on our network. I then want to open a new powermill file and import all of those toolpath strategies in one shot. Right now I utilize the fileselect command to reimport them but having to do this 10-15 times can be cumbersome.

I know you can physically drag them all in at once but I would prefer to do it all through a macro. Was wondering if it was possible to use the fileselect command to have the user point to the folder where all the strategies were saved and then have powermill import all the files in that folder. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I did not realize you can save the whole project as a template set. Definitely made me rethink my whole strategy on how to import and export the objects I need.
