The Build Macro Path dialog

Summary

The Build Macro Path dialog is used to create a file list entry using an assembled macro string.

Access

The dialog is accessed by clicking the Add button in the Copy Files List Setup dialog.

Options/Controls

• [Project] (first field) - click to access a sub-menu to create the desired path:
  • [Project] - select to choose the Project itself; this will include only documents that have been added to the Altium NEXUS project.
  • [Project Dir] - select to choose the local directory that contains the project.
  • [Release Managed] - select to specify that the file source will be dynamically determined by the later project release process.
• Subfolder (center field) - click to access a sub-menu to create the desired path:
  • Use base path – the file path is the source location, as defined in the initial option above.
  • Choose subfolder – the file path is a nominated subdirectory within the Source path. Directly enter a subfolder path or browse to and select a subfolder using the  button.
• Filter (right field) - click to access a drop-down from where you can choose the desired file type extension or manually enter the desired extension.
• Include Subfolders (doesn't matter for [Project] macro) – enable for the mask filter to apply (and therefore include) files in any subfolders.
• Preserve Folder Structure – enable to ensure that the file source folder structure is retained when the Output generator is run.
