Archiving an Electrical Project

In the Archive button, you can find two commands. The first allows you to archive the selects electrical project without archive options. The second opens a wizard allowing you to define the archive options.

The two commands accept the muti-selection. The Archive command can save the electrical project with all its pages and all data used in its design (such as symbols, title blocks, or configurations).

An electrical project cannot be archived if it is open on another workstation (Client/Server installation) or on another session (3D add-in).

The archived electrical project file extension is .PROJ.TEWZIP. Archived electrical projects remain available in the Electrical project Management.

To archive, click Electrical project management > Archive .
