Exporting and Importing Locators

You might want to reuse a complex locator in another project or in another class of
the same project. Ascent Xtrata Pro provides options for reusing locators so they do
not have to be defined twice. Locators can be exported with all of their settings and
imported into another project or another class. Once a locator has been imported you
can either use it as is, or make modifications. In either case, this not only saves time,
but also reduces the potential for errors.
