Importing project

You can import a deleted project into the view containing the projects/resources at any time, when its contents are still residing within the file system.

How to import an existing project into logi.CAD 3 – either from a directory or an archive file:

  1. In menu File or from the context menu within the view, select Import...

  2. In the wizard, expand General, select Existing Projects into Workspace and click Next >.
    To locate a particular type: Enter a text (e.g. Project) into the field under Select an import source to show only the wizards that match the entered text.

  3. On the next wizard page, select either Select root directory or Select archive file. Then type in the full path or click the associated button Browse to locate the project on the file system.

  4. Under Projects select the project or projects which you would like to import.
    If the project is disabled in the list or it is not displayed at all, see "A project cannot be imported" or "Die gleiche Positon für C-/C++-Projekte bzw. andere Projekte verursacht Probleme" for solutions.
    To speed up the selection process: Click button Select All to select all found projects or button Deselect All to deselect all found projects. Click button Refresh to rescan the selected source for projects to import.

  5. Optional: Select Copy projects into workspace to copy the imported projects into the current workspace.

  6. Click Finish to start the import.
    Result: The imported projects are displayed within the view containing the projects/resources. Now you can open the objects of the projects (for editing) or create new objects in them.

Did linked folders become "real" folders after importing?

After you have imported a project from an archive file, →linked folders in the project might have become "real" folders. This might cause problems, when you are using objects included in the (actually linked) folders. Details: see "Linked folders are considered when exporting a project into an archive file"
