Navigation:  User Configuration > ExpandType > Import Existing Macro Library to ExpandType

Users new to ChartNet may have a pre-existing library of macros or shortcuts from third-party software. It is recommended to use ExpandType when working with ChartNet. In order to continue using an existing library of macros, the library must be exported from the third-party software and imported to ExpandType.

 

Note that ExpandType will only import ASCII files, such as txt or csv.
