    Export Worksets

    Overview

    Export Worksets writes the names of every user-created workset in the current model to a plain-text .txt file — one name per line. It is the companion to Import Worksets: use it to capture a model's workset naming scheme so you can seed the same worksets into another model. It reads only user worksets (not the standard system worksets) and requires the model to be workshared.

    How to use

    1. In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Utilities panel and click Export Worksets.
    2. In the Save dialog, choose a location and filename — the default is Worksets_Export.txt.
    3. The tool writes each user workset name on its own line and confirms how many were exported.

    Tips & Notes

    • Pair it with Import Worksets to replicate a workset standard across projects: export once, then import into each new model.
    • The output is a simple text file — open it in any editor to trim or reorder names before importing elsewhere.

    Limitations

    • It exports workset names only — not element-to-workset assignments, and it does not move any element between worksets.
    • The output is a .txt file, not Excel.
    • Only user worksets are exported, and the model must be workshared or the command stops with a notice.
