Import Hard Point dialog box

Input File Sets the path and file name of the XML file that contains information about the hard point that you want to import.You can also click Browse and select the file in the File to import dialog box.
Import Option
Append Adds a new selection recipe for each hard point in the XML file.If a selection recipe with the same name as the hard point already exists, an incrementing number is added to the name of the selection recipe for the hard point. For example, if the model includes a selection recipe named FRONT_LEFT_BOLT, and the XML file includes , then the selection recipe created for that hard point is named FRONT_LEFT_BOLT_1.
Replace Replaces the data associated with an existing selection recipe of the same type and name as the hard point in the XML file.For example, suppose the model includes a single-label selection recipe named FRONT_LEFT_BOLT for which the node label is set to 100, and the XML file includes the following data: When you import the XML file, the node label for the existing FRONT_LEFT_BOLT selection recipe changes from 100 to 200.Note: If a selection recipe of the same type and name does not already exist, a new selection recipe is added.If a selection recipe of the same name is used for a different type of selection recipe, an incrementing number is appended to the name of the selection recipe for the hard point.For example, suppose you import the preceding XML data, and a bounding volume selection recipe named FRONT_LEFT_BOLT already exists. Because of the difference in types, the data associated with the bounding volume selection recipe is not replaced, and the single-label selection recipe created for the hard point is named FRONT_LEFT_BOLT_1.If you previously exported a point selection recipe, it is imported as an attribute selection recipe. Because the types are different, it is not possible to replace the information in the original point selection recipe. Each time you import the XML file, the software creates a new attribute selection recipe with an incrementing number appended to its name unless you change the name in the XML file to match an existing attribute selection recipe.
