Closing a Project

You can close an active project by selecting File > Close Project or by using the Close project function in the document browser. You can save the changes since the last save by selecting Save in the dialog box. The program will save the changes and close the project. You can close the project without saving the changes by clicking the Close button.

Dialog Box Options

Keep only latest version of project

The number of kept versions of the project is defined in the BDSXX keyword group under the keyword max_building_versions. In addition to these versions, the latest autosave version of the project is stored. If you want to keep only the latest version of the project in the project directory, select the Keep only latest version of project check box in the dialog box. The old project versions are then deleted from the project directory.

Compress project files

When you select this check box, the program compresses the files of the project into a VXZ file, and at the same time removes them from the project folder. The program creates the compressed file in the project folder with the name Archive.vxz. You can also use the function File > Project Archive > Archive Projects With File Compression. Later, when you open the project, the program will extract the files into the project folder and remove the VXZ file.

Export project to VXZ file

When you select this check box, the program will create a compressed VXZ file of the project folder. Select the folder in which you want to save the compressed file. The compressed file is named according to the project, for example Project_Name.vxz. You can also create a compressed file by selecting File > Project Archive > Export Projects To VXZ Files.

DesignStream

If the DesignStream Interface add-on feature is available to you, and you have logged in the DesignStream system, you can export the project to the DesignStream server. This requires that the project's id has been retrieved from the DesignStream system.
