Selecting Imported Files

If an archive document or a file with the same name as the imported model already exists in Vertex, you can select which files are imported.

Dialog Box Options

Imported entries of project

When importing a project, this list is displayed if there is a project label, archive document or file with the same name as one of the imported project already exists in Vertex.

On the left side there are files found on the system with the same name as one of the project, and on the right side there is entire imported project.

Selecting Imported Files

You can select the imported files by clicking the symbol that toggles between and .

When importing a project and a label with the same name already exists, the meaning of the symbols displayed next to each other is following:

		File existing in the system..
		File is replaced by the imported file.
		File is kept.
		File is deleted. File is not replaced. You must not remove model drawing.

If you remove a model drawing from the archive by selecting the pair of symbols , data of the attached drawing remains in the model. However, you can not open the drawing in the working window. Instead of remove, you can replace the drawing with a new one or keep the drawing.

If the list includes several files you can make the same kind of symbol selection, do as follows:

1. Select files in list as follows:

   • Select one file by clicking with the left mouse button.

   • Select more than one by holding down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button.

   • Select the desired range from the list by holding down Shift and clicking the start and end of the range with the left mouse button.

   • Select all by pressing Ctrl+A.

2. Switch to a similar import method for all the selected files by clicking the symbol column while pressing the Ctrl key.
