Imprt/Export & Package/Unpackage option

Hi Vpatel,

I imagine you are speaking of the options in Project Administrator, not the Import Export menu in AutoPLANT. With that assumption...
Creating an Export package will allow you to choose a specific model/models from the project. It will pack it/them into a zip file that can be sent to another user off-site or dropped into another project, etc. You can choose to include configuration files, specs, etc.that are specific to that project with the package. Import package will take a package and bring it into an existing project.
The Package/Unpackage option is used to Package the entire project including all files and models involved. Unpackaging will take a package and use it to create a new project that will be a copy of the project that was packaged previously.
You can find more information by reading the documentation/help files included with Project Administrator for version 8.6.1.6.
I hope I answered your questions.
Aaron
