When you load a toolpath template, the toolpath settings within the file are immediately applied to the vector artwork or vector layer originally selected in the toolpaths used as the basis for the template.
If this vector artwork or vector layer has been deleted, or you want to use the template with a different model, you must select the vector artwork or vector layer to which you want to assign the toolpath template before editing or calculating the toolpath.
To load a toolpath template file (.tpl):
- In the
Toolpath Operations area of the
Toolpaths panel, click the
Load Toolpath Template
button to display the
Load Toolpath Template dialog.
- Navigate to the folder on your computer in which the toolpath template file that you want to use is stored.
- Select the file you want to use. Its name is displayed in the
File name box.
Note: You can only select toolpath template files (.tpl). You can confirm this by clicking the Files of Type list.
- Click
Open to load the selected toolpath template. The toolpaths within the template file are listed under the
Toolpaths item in the Project Tree.
You can now edit or calculate the toolpaths that have been loaded.
