Application Note: Exporting/Importing ScreenCreator Projects AutomationDirect Logo


How to export / import a ScreenCreator project from one computer to another:

Backing Up:
  1. Open the project you want to export to the other computer.
  2. If any changes have been made to the project make sure you choose Project: Download\Build, BUILD - this saves and compiles any changes to the project.
  3. Now choose Project, BACKUP. Choose SELECT (this is where you can specify the folder you want the project to be backed up to) and choose OK .
  4. Choose OK on the Backup Project window. (Now all the files that are necessary to copy the project to another computer is in one Folder).

    At this time you can take the files and Zip them up using WINZIP or some other zip utility and easily e-mail theses files to another person. It is much easier to e-mail one ZIP file than several individual files. Also, the projects are usually very small and will easily fit onto a floppy 1.4MB disk.

Restoring:
  1. Choose Project, RESTORE. Now in the Restore Project window choose SELECT (now point the software to look at the location to which the project was backed up). Choose OK.
  2. Now choose Project, Open and your project will be in the Project list. If the project is not listed, repeat the above steps.
