Combine Multiple Outputs in a Single Export Configuration

Integrate ouput of an export configuration in another output.

What is the benefit of this enhancement?

This allows the combination of multiple outputs with a single action in Output user interface.

Example

A new installation of SMARTElectrode comes with export options:

ASCII
CSV
HTML
IGES
STEP
ZK_TXT

The user requirement is to export IGES, STEP for manufacturing department and a CSV file for administration. To achieve this, following steps must be carried out:

create a subfolder “Combined” in directory “export”. This can be a copy of an existing folder like “STEP”.

update content of export.txt:

Log-File Combined Export
========================
Version: #SE_VERSION#
Benutzer: #SE_USER#
Datum: #SE_DATE#

#SE_INSERT:CSV#
#SE_INSERT:IGES#
#SE_INSERT:STEP#

Use SE_INSERT to process and insert the output of an existing configuration (=directory name). Separate keyword and export with a colon.
After an initial test, it’s noticeable that CSV output is now part of the parent file.
Open <configuration>\export\CSV\export.cfg and add option SE_OUTPUT_TO_FILE YES to epxort the CSV file as if the export had been started manually.
