    Import Worksets

    Overview

    Import Worksets reads workset names from a plain-text .txt file (one name per line) and creates any that do not already exist in the current model. It is the counterpart to Export Worksets: point it at an exported name list to reproduce another model's workset scheme. Names are trimmed and de-duplicated, names that already exist are skipped, and the tool reports how many were created, how many already existed, and any that failed — a single problematic name never aborts the run.

    How to use

    1. In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Utilities panel and click Import Worksets.
    2. In the Open dialog, pick the .txt file that lists the workset names — typically one produced by Export Worksets.
    3. The tool creates each missing user workset and skips names already present in the model.
    4. Read the summary: created, already-existing, and failed counts, with details for any failures.

    Tips & Notes

    • Run Export Worksets on a template or reference model, then Import Worksets into each new project to standardize workset names in seconds.
    • Because existing names are skipped, it is safe to re-run against a partially set-up model — only the missing worksets are added.

    Limitations

    • It creates worksets by name only; it does not assign or move elements into them.
    • Input must be a .txt file with one name per line — not Excel.
    • The model must be workshared, and read-only models are rejected before any file is picked.
