The variable manager [Variable Manager] now has a button for batch importing table algorithms. This means you can import algorithms for an entire catalog and no longer have to do this individually for each project.

Right-click on the desired catalog > Automation > Manage variables to open the Variable management [Variable Management] dialog box.

Algorithm Import (as Table): [Algorithm import (as table)] Import a meta CSV file with the following Structure:

"PRJ_PATH","ALGO_CSV_PATH"
"thing/part.prj","../thing/part_algo_A.csv"
"thing/part.prj","../thing/part_algo_B.csv"
"other/foo.prj","foo_algo_Z.csv"

The header must be included and look like this:

"PRJ_PATH","ALGO_CSV_PATH"

The project file paths can be absolute or relative to the target catalog. The algorithm CSV file paths can be absolute or relative to the meta CSV.

All target projects must be checked out. A dialog box opens showing information on the progress. Each CSV file is loaded, an algorithm is created, checked for validity and saved in the target project. Any errors are displayed in the dialog box.

Further information on variable management can be found in the Section 5.8.2.1.20.8, “ Manage variables ” in eCATALOG 3Dfindit chapter.
