Importing project configuration

You can import a previously exported project configuration to a project, for example to use consistent settings across all projects, or to restore original project settings from a backup. Entities that already exist are skipped or updated, or the imported entity is renamed with a running number, depending on entity type.

The import does not affect 3D models or documents that might exist in the target project.

Prerequisites

• You have a project configuration export on the clipboard. See Exporting project configuration.

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 Import Config. The Import Project text box is displayed.

3. Paste the configuration to import into the text box.

4. Import project administrator permissions? – Select whether to import project administrator permissions.

   • Yes – Users that have project administrator status in the imported configuration will also have project administrator status in the target project.
   • No – All users are imported as normal project users.

5. Import default markup properties? – Select whether to import the properties of the default Markup Type (User Groups, Model Position, Assignee).

   • Yes – Import the properties of the default Markup Type.
   • No – Keep the current properties of the default Markup Type.

6. Click Import. The program reports if any entities were skipped or renamed in import.
