Consolidating Calls

Lingwisyer — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 09:26:11 GMT

Hi all,

Is there a way to consolidate Calls within an object? There are a couple of items that were superseded in AC21 that are better at creating some results that I want to keep in my current library without needing to load entire migration libraries. Hopefully an alternative than going through each object to find and save out each call...

Not 100% sure, but I think embedding the migration library does that: put the parts and macros that are used in the library. You do need the objects to be in use in the project somewhere.

After embedding you could save out the files to a folder if you want to keep it linked from a server for example.

Thanks Erwin.

With the relevant objects placed in a file, going to the Library Manager and using the "Embed placed objects of selected library" will create a copy of the placed objects in your Embedded Library as well as a folder containing all the relevant called sub-objects. These can then be saved out to the desired location.

Note: This will not work using a Migration Library as you cannot directly place new objects from these libraries and must embed them first, in which case only the base object will be embedded, missing the relevant sub-objects.
