Export Projects to VXZ Files

You can create a compressed file of the selected project folder, which can then be sent as an e-mail attachment, for example. If necessary, you can remove the folder of the compressed project from the project archive.

  1. Select Archives | Projects | Export.
  2. Select the projects to be compressed in a dialog box. You can sort projects by name, date, saving location or description by clicking the headers. Each project is compressed into a VXZ file of its own.

    Selecting from a List

  3. Click OK.
  4. Select the folder in which you want to save the compressed files.
  5. Click OK.

    The program compresses the selected projects and saves the VXZ files in the selected folder. The VXZ files are named according to the project ids, for example Project_1.vxz. You will be prompted: Do you want to delete these projects and project folders from the archive?

  6. Do either of the following:
    • If you want to keep the folders of the compressed projects in the project archive, click No.
    • If you want to delete the folders of the compressed projects from the project archive, click Yes.

Note

  • The files that will be included in the compressed file are defined in the Pack_Control file, located either in the project folder or the Setup folder.
  • You can also save a project to VXZ file when closing the project by selecting the check box Export project to VXZ file in the dialog box.
