Change the Template folder

[[Ra...]]

Is there a way to change the project template folder in a script? I need an alternate location for certain instances.

Hi,

there is no function for this.

As a workaround, you could use the public folder in ZEISS INSPECT.

You can use gom.script.sys.set_public_folder() to change the public folder from a script.

sys.set_public_folder (set public directory) - set public directory
 
Parameters:
 
Name      | Description                         | Type                  | Optional
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
directory | specifies the path to the directory | Tom::Parse::Directory | No      
migration | decide whether to migrate or not    | bool                  | Yes

 

However, this will apply to everything inside the folder, not just templates.

Notes:

• gom.script.sys.set_public_folder() will take effect in the current ZEISS INSPECT instance immediately.
• The public folder for other ZEISS INSPECT instances will be changed only after closing the instance which modified it.

Best regards,

Matthias
