Exporting Workspace Files "To Go" (For Distribution) - AMX NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual

Exporting Workspace Files "To Go" (for Distribution)

With the Export Workspace Files To Go option in the Project menu, you can export the open Workspace for
distribution as an AXW file. AXW files preserve all relative file path information for the Projects, Systems, and System
files contained in the Workspace, making them ideal to distribute to remote sites.
As indicated in this dialog, there are three major points to understand when exporting your Workspace files:



1.
Select Project > Export Workspace Files To Go to open the Export Workspace Files To Go dialog (FIG. 38).
FIG. 38 Export Workspace Files To Go dialog
Note that this command is also available via the from the Workspace tab context menu, and the Project toolbar.
2.
By default, the name and target directory of the AXW file to be created matches the name of the open Workspace
file. Use the Name of the "To Go" File box to change the name and target directory for the resulting AXW file, if
desired. Use the Browse (...) button to navigate to a different folder.
3.
By default, the name and target directory of the APW file to be created matches the name of the open Workspace
file, with "_Exported" appended to the end (for example "NetLinx Boardroom.APW" becomes "NetLinx
Boardroom_Exported.APW" once it is extracted from the AXW file). Use the "To Go" Workspace Filename To
Create box to change the name and target directory for the resulting AXW file, if necessary. This APW file is
included in the AXW "To Go" file.
4.
Use the option buttons in the Export Options area to specify exporting the Full Workspace (all Projects and
Systems included), or only the currently active Project (Only Active Project) or the currently active System (Only
Active System). By default, the program is configured to export the entire Workspace file.
5.
Use the check boxes in the Export Options area to select additional options as desired:

NetLinx Studio - Instruction Manual
All files will reside in the same directory as the APW file upon extraction of the AXW file.
No directory/path information is required for the "To Go" APW File Name.
You may enter non-existing folders and the program will create them for you.
Select Include User IRN Database(s) to include any user-defined .irn (IR database) files in the resulting
AXW file. If the selected Workspace file does not include any user-defined IRN files, this option is
unavailable.
Select Include Module Files that are not part of the Workspace to include AXS (*.TKO) and Duet (*.jar)
Module files that are needed for a successful NetLinx compile and link, but have not been added to the
Workspace.
