Using the DXP-HT Project Wizard

XP-HT v1.3 - Programmer’s Guide

Copying a Design XPress - Home Theater Project

There are three ways to copy an existing DXP-HT project file under a new name. All three methods

have the same result; they allow you to rename a copy of the Project selected (highlighted) in the

Project Selection list (on the Main Screen), via the Copy Project dialog.

First select a Project from the Project Selection List, then:

 Click the Copy Project button on the Main Screen

 Select File > Copy.

 Select Copy from the Project Selection List context menu.

Use the fields in the Copy Project dialog to specify a name for the copied project file (in the Job

Name field), and to enter a description of the project if desired (in the Description field).

Importing a DXP-HT Project

Once you have exported a DXP-HT project, you can import it back in to the program via the

Import Project command.

There are two ways to import an existing DXP-HT project file into the Project Selection list. Both

methods have the same result; they each invoke the Select Import Design XPress File dialog, where

you can locate and select a Project (*.DXP) file to import.

 Select File > Import Project.

 Select Import from the Project Selection List context menu.

Note that importing a Project file does not affect the physical location of the imported file - it still

exists in the directory/location that you got it from, but it is now available for selection via the Main

Screen.

Exporting a DXP-HT Project

There are two ways to export an existing DXP-HT project file. Both methods have the same result;

they each invoke the Export dialog, where you can specify a name and the target directory for the

exported Project (.DXF) file.

 Select File > Export.

 Select Export from the Project Selection List context menu.

The Job Name is required, the Description is optional.

If you import a Project that already exists in the Project Selection List, DXP-HT

automatically increments the Rev number for that Project File by one digit (as

indicated in the Rev column of the Project Selection List).

The DXP-HT Project must be have first been exported before it can be imported (see

Importing a DXP-HT Project above).
