How to make a custom sequence load when a new sequence (Ctrl+N) is clicked

[AnandTrivedi87]

Hello,

I have certain fixed steps to be executed for many test sequences at part of Setup and Cleanup group. I have created sequences for each group(init.seq and Release.seq) and called them in another sequence (Template.seq)

If Template.seq opens when I press Ctrl+N, reoccuring activity time can be saved.

I have tried adding Template.seq in Template Tab but that too requires deleting MainSequence(which gets create when Ctrl+N is pressed) and then adding this Template.seq from template tab.

You find the sequence is the attahment

Is there is way to meet this requirement?

Anand,

do you refer your question to the NI SequenceEditor or a custom UI with developer capabilities (e.g. full-featured Editor mode)?

Anand,

there is no way i know of to change the New Sequence File menu bar option to spawn a custom template sequence file instead of an empty one.

What you can do is to provide a tool you add to the TestStand tools menu.

Norbert,

What I mean is not changes in menu. 

When Ctrl+N is pressed a default blank sequence will open. Instead of that blank sequence is there option to load another sequence, is what I am looking for.

Anand

You could create a menu item which does this either using a process model configuration entry point or a tool menu item, but there is no way to create such an item with a shortcut key, so it's not possible to make Ctrl+N do what you want. You might want to post to the idea exchange to request such a feature.
