Functions for the Active Project: Output

You can use this function to choose all or a selection of the file documents that are assigned to a project.

The basic procedure is largely similar to the document export via Export file , but in this context additional menu items are available in the Settings for export dialogue under Structure

Settings for export > Structure

• Create project as superordinate directory: This option controls whether the project in the export directory should be created as a superordinate directory in which the files it contains are then stored. The project number is used as the directory name. Deactivate the option and the files will not be copied into an automatically created directory with the project name during export, but directly into the specified storage path.

  Since the project number is converted to a directory name, a corresponding error message appears if there are invalid characters in the project number (which prevent a corresponding project from being created in the file system).

• Also export sub-project structure and content: With this option you can export the complete project structure including sub-projects and contents, instead of only the contents of the project of the function call. (The option above, if deactivated, is inevitably created in this case, since the project is always created in the context of the structure as a superordinate directory)

  Note that the options Structure > Also export sub-project structure with content and Document > Export also referenced documents from document or model structure cannot be active together. The background is that when exporting by means of document or model structure, further documents would be exported if necessary, which cannot be stored "meaningfully" in the Windows folder view via the project structure.

  If files are to be exported "structured" and sent via the export function Send by e-mail, the option As ZIP archive must also be active in the export dialogue that follows the settings dialogue.

  

  The selected Structure options also influence the structure that is created in the ZIP file.

• Export all indices of a document: If this option is deactivated (default setting), only the newest indices of project files are exported. If the option is activated, all other indices of a corresponding document are offered for selection/deselection in the export dialogue:

The export takes effect regardless of the index options set at HELiOS Options > Result lists > Show objects.

The dialogue remembers the settings for the next call.

Via HELiOS Options > Import/Export > Always show configuration dialogue when exporting files of the project you can control whether the settings dialogue should be called every time or skipped, with the options specified.

Please note:

• If there are no documents in the project or project structure, you will receive an error message .

• If a document is assigned several times in the project structure, it will be exported several times if the structure export option is selected according to the WYSIWYG principle.

• When exporting the structure of projects, the export of documents with regard to their index is always based on the document versions specifically assigned to the respective project.

Prints the graphics of all documents of a project. Whether the extended dialogue window for printing documents is called up or printing is started directly depends on the corresponding settings.

Use the context menu function Copy number to copy the designation of a HELiOS object (Document number, Article number, Folder name, Project, Material designation) to the Clipboard, e.g. to paste it from there to other applications with only a few mouse clicks.

The number will remain in the Clipboard as long as the application from which it was copied (e.g. the HELiOS Desktop or another linked CAD program, or an MS Office program) is open. As soon as the application is closed, the number will be removed from the Clipboard.

Copies the URL of the HELiOS project to the clipboard, enabling its pasting to another location.
