12.1 Compressing/Uncompressing a project
Project compression is an easy way to archive a project with its libraries. Select the
Tool|Compress …
menu item to
compress a project along with all of the libraries used in that project into a single file. The extension used for
compressed files is
*.CMP
. Uncompressing can be used to extract the project and its libraries later. If the original
libraries or project data is lost, they can be recovered by uncompressing the archived project.
Enter the project’s name in the
Source Name
field or click
Browse …
to search for the project to compress. The Destination
name is automatically assigned. If you would like a different name for the compressed project, enter it in the
Desti. Name
field.
Click on the
Compressing ….
button to begin the compression process.
Note:
The same procedure is used in the
Uncompressing ….
section for uncompressing a file.
