Hi all,
is there any trick / method of importing a previously exported CSV variables table into a different .SM2D file? Alternatively, can the XML data be copied from file-to-file? If so, what must be edited (if at all)?

Hi @DavidDeb ,
I’ve just added to what @Pneumarian wrote on your previous post.
I just copy the variables section from one file to another in a text editor. Just make sure that if you are referring to measurements, from the measurements file, that you are also using the same measurement areas in the new pattern so that the variables can refer to the same things, otherwise you will get errors.

And again this is why it’s easy to export things from Seamly, but not easy to import to Seamly. I could implement importing a csv variables table in 5 mins… making sure the variables imported are valid against a measurement file is another whole story. We would have to loop through each variable and see if the destination pattern has a measurement file and if the variable exists. If NOT one of 2 things would have to happen - 1) Skip and not add variable 2) Open and add measurement to measurement file, providing some means of defining a value for the measurement.
Make make more sense to implement coping a variable table from 1 pattern file to another so as to make dealing with adding missing measurments easier.
