Exporting and importing components

Export

Components can be exported to file. This means that it is possible to reuse components created for one application in another. Both views and ModFrame components is exportable.

To export a set of components do the following:

• Select the components you wish to export.
• Right-click on one of them and select Export...
• A file dialog appears where you must give the file a name, click ok and the file is created.

The file will be saved in the folder specified in the LibraryPath property (stand alone server) or LibraryFilePath (server runs in the ApisHive context)

Import

To import an exported file, first make sure that the file is in the correct folder. Then right-click the container's background an choose Edit->Import Raw... or Edit->Import Default.

For non-Tracker components these two options are equal. For Tracker components Import Raw means that the tracker components keep the exported IDs. (MaterialDefintionID and so forth.) The safest bet is to use the Import Default option which sets all the IDs of the Tracker components to default values.
