MPH reads four PowerMill sources: Tool Library, Archive, Project, and Active Session. Choose the one that fits your needs.


MPH reads four PowerMill sources, shown on the PowerMill card in two groups: Direct Import (file-based, no PowerMill needed) and PowerMill Connection (a running session).

Which source to use

You have… Source Group
Tool database or template file Tool Library Direct Import
Archive file on disk Archive Direct Import
Project folder on disk Project Direct Import
PowerMill open with the tools loaded Active Session PowerMill Connection

Direct Import reads files directly, so PowerMill need not be installed. Active Session reads from any live PowerMill instances that may be running.
