Exporting workflow to package .yxzp with multiple level embedded macros

ANNE_LEROY

Hello,

 

I want to export my workflow to package .yxzp for distribution to users.
It contains an outer macro which in turn contains another macro.

 

Exporting workflow only includes the outer macro. How can I specify to include inner macro as well ?

 

For the moment, my only idea is to include the inner macro somewhere hidden in the main workflow, which is not very clean.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Anne

OK this is a good question.

Go to Options>User Settings>Edit User Settings> Go to Advance and check "Display Asset Management in Properties Window"

Once that is done, select your outer macro, on the settings pane, select the asset.

Once you click on that it will show you the inner macro, check that to include it with your outer macro.

Once done, now if you package your workflow, both of the macros will be included in the package.

Hello, thank you.

I don't see this option. I'm on desktop version :

Could it be the reason ? Or am I searching at the wrong place ?

Waow ... I found it; it was in General in fact in my version; I added the inner macro file and ... magic ... it's working fine ...

 

Thank you very very much 😊
