Exporting project/objects in XML format
To export the entire project data in XML format:
1. Select Project > Save and export. The Export Project window with the XML export/import
status display tab opens.
2. Select a target directory by clicking the Browse button. If you do not change the path, the
export files are saved in the current project folder as standard. See also "Export of projects".
3. Click OK to confirm.
The files in the target directory are deleted and the export of the project data is started. On
completion of export, the successfully completed export and the target path are displayed
in the XML export/import status display tab of the detail view.
4. Click the link silhouetted in blue to obtain more precise information about the exported
project.
Importing an XML file
Select the file of the technology object / device in XML format to be imported to a new project.
As import file, always select the XML file which has the name of the technology object / device.
Normally the exported file is displayed in this field so that you only have to perform the following
steps when you want to import another file.
To select the import file:
1. Click Browse to the right of the text field. A window opens.
2. Select the XML file that is to be imported.
Only a technology object that is completely available can be imported. Always select the
XML file which has the name of the previously exported technology object as the import
file. If it is not possible to import the selected file, the import is aborted.
3. Click Open to confirm. The window closes and the source path is displayed.
