Path ExportTemplate

Description
Job Templates provide a convenient mechanism for saving commonly used Job definitions from within an existing Job. This facilitates the setup of future Jobs that are largely similar.

Creating a Template
 * 1) Create a Job and configure it normally.
 * 2) Invoke the menu 'Export Template' command from the Path->menu, or by right-clicking the Job node in the Combo view.
 * 3) Select elements for inclusion from the Export Template configuration dialogue.
 * 4) Click OK and save the template. The template name must follow the pattern of job_ .json  When shown in the selection combobox, the job_ prefix and extension will not be shown.  Path workbench access requires saving the templates in the Macro directory or Path Directory, as configured in Path Preferences.

Available definition elements that can be exported includes:
 * 1) Postprocessor
 * 2) Extent and Placement of the Stock
 * 3) Operation Depths, Heights, and Tool Controller data contained in the SetupSheet
 * 4) Tool Controllers

The Edit->Preferences...->Path->Job Preferences tab, Defaults->Template is used to set the default template defining a Job at creation.
