Description
Job Templates provide 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.
Available definition elements that can be exported includes:
- Postprocessor
- Extent and Placement of the Stock
- Operation Depths, Heights, and Tool Controller data contained in the SetupSheet
- Tool Controllers
The Edit->Preferences...->Path->Job Preferences tab, Defaults->Template is used to set the default template defining a Job at creation.
Usage

- From within any normally configured Job, invoke the menu Export Template command from the Path->menu, or by right-clicking the Job node in the Combo view.
