Export workflow containing nested macro

[hungdm]

I have a Workflow A containing batch macro B, and B contains another macro C.

from Workflow A, if I export, it will only export macro B and then the flow will be broken

how can I solve that?

Hi @hungdm,

have you tried creating a Workflow Group?

Oh sorry, I mixed something up.

Go to Options -> Export Worklow.

This will create an yxzp-file with everything in it.

This is the dialog if someone opens it:

I tried that but it did not work out.

The flow A will only export Macro B and it will not export the nested macro C

Can you DM your files to reproduce the case?

It worked fine with my nested macros.

Hi @hungdm 

You can add any assets you like to a workflow, including nested macros if you follow these steps

1. in your User settings check Display Asset Management in Properties Window

This puts a small package icon in the config window of most tools

2 Click this and add the assets that you need

When working with nested macros you'll have an additional step.  At each level of nesting add any macros that are included below it.  

- TopLevel.yxmd (inlcudes Macro.yxmc automatically)

   - Macro.yxmc (add Nested.yxmc as asset)

      - Nested.yxmc (add 2ndLevelNestedMacro.yxmc as asset)

         -2ndLevelNestedMacro.yxmc
