Exporting a Resource

Export projects, file system resources, schemas, or zip files to an external file system using the Export wizard.

When you export a resource, a copy of the resource is made for the external file system while the original resource remains unaltered; however, caution should be exercised when exporting resources at the file level. Referential integrity may be lost as any referenced files are not automatically exported.

To export a resource:

Open the Export wizard. Select File|Export from the main menu bar.
Select File System and click Next.
In the File System dialog, do the following:
1. In the left pane, select the project or folder that contains the resource you want to export.
  Its contents is displayed in the right pane.
2. In the right pane, select the resources that you want to export.
3. In the To directory field, browse for the destination directory that you want to export the file into.
4. Select any of the following options:
  - Overwrite existing files without warning
  - Create directory structure for files
  - Create only selected directories
Click Finish to export the specified resources to the destination location.
