Author Previous Topic Next Topic Jak Onren Jak's Salvage Likes received: 3 Not sure if I am allowed to ask about an external program, but I would like to use EveMon to help me make sense of the skills. I can't seem to find a way of getting my existing skills into the planner so that I can then plan future progression. Do I have to put them in manually or is there some nifty way of importing them to the planner? Orlacc Likes received: 961 CLick "file" and then "add api key" It will show you where to go to get one.Once you do this successfully, EVEMON will keep track of your progress."Measure Twice, Cut Once." Jak Onren Jak's Salvage Likes received: 3 #3 - 2012-05-14 23:20:20 UTC Thanks, but I have got my EveMon up and running and it shows my existing skills, but I can't get them into the planner tool. That is what I need help with. Or am I missing something really obvious? Orlacc Likes received: 961 #4 - 2012-05-14 23:33:31 UTC Just confirming you imported your skills using an API key. If so, click on you character, then up top "plan" and create a plan. It will automatically fill it in."Measure Twice, Cut Once." Jak Onren Jak's Salvage Likes received: 3 Yes, API key entered and skills have imported, but when I Select Tools | New Plan, I am asked to give it a name and it is an empty plan. There is an option that says import plan from file. I was hoping I could get a file from my existing skills and import that, but that took me nowhere.My aim is to to start a 'whatif' plan based on what I have already - does that make sense? Orlacc Likes received: 961 Oh okay. YOU give the plan a name, like battleship or "whatif" or something. Click "ok" Then on the next screen, pick from the skill browser, or a ship you might like to fly or an item etc.DOnt worry you will get it and love itt."Measure Twice, Cut Once."

So it won't let you add your current skills to the plan (as you have them). It'll also take away skills from the plan as you learn them.Closest you can do is add a new character on your account and hook it up with the api. Then manually set all the skills you've already learnt on your main. Jak Onren Jak's Salvage Likes received: 3 #8 - 2012-05-14 23:55:51 UTC That answers that then. Thank youIt won't be too onerous to add skills in manually as there aren't that many, being fairly new.Orlacc, love it already!

Perhaps, I am being over enthusastic/anally retentive Thanks again all for your help.
