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
- In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Utilities panel and click Import Worksets.
- In the Open dialog, pick the .txt file that lists the workset names — typically one produced by Export Worksets.
- The tool creates each missing user workset and skips names already present in the model.
- 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.
