Importing Patterns

Once a pattern has been exported to a patzip file the pattern may not be modified in that patzip file. However, you may import the pattern from a patzip file back into your workspace where you can modify both templates and pattern metadata. This process uses a new Project Wizard, the Import Pattern Into New Project wizard.

The wizard's first page lets you give the project name and location, just like the Create Pattern Project wizard. The second page requires you to browse to and select an existing patzip file. When you click on Finish on the second page, the wizard will create a new project with a pattern nature and will copy all templates and other files from the patzip into the project.
