Exporting project configuration

You can export the complete configuration of a project in text format. You can use this to easily copy settings from one project to another, or just to back up project settings. The export does not include the 3D model or any documents.

Note: The same settings are copied when you create a new project and select to use a Template Project as described in Adding a new project. Many administrative views also allow you to export or import just those settings that are specific to that view.

The export preserves variables—for example, if the source project uses a {projectName} or {projectDbName} variable as part of a data source configuration or in the connection string of a database adapter, in the export it will not be replaced with the actual project name or project database name.

Do the following:

1. Navigate to the project to edit, and then click Project Admin in the main menu. The project administration view opens.
2. In the General view, click Export Config. The Export Project text box displays the configuration in text format.
3. Copy the contents of the text box to the clipboard. You can save the copied settings in a text file if needed.
