4.5.1 Creating a Zipped Project File (*.ZWT) For Backup
Note: The .zwt file is a complete backup of your entire project
including code, comments and graphics. It may be stored on your
PC or removable storage media. It may also be downloaded and
archived to ControlWave Flash memory where it may be
uploaded at a later time for editing.
With your current ControlWave project open in ControlWave Designer,
perform the following steps:
1. Click File > Save Project As / Zip Project As.
Figure 4-4. Saving a Backup of Your Project
2. In the “Save/Zip project as” dialog box, specify a project name in
the File name field. In Figure 4-4 we chose the name mynewproj.
3. In the Save as type field, choose Zipped Project Files (*.zwt).
4. In the Zip Options area, select which additional files you want to
include in the zwt file. Other than increasing the file size of the zwt,
it doesn’t hurt to check any or all of these options.
Zip Option Description
Zip User-Libraries
If you created your own user-defined
functions or function blocks, you must
select this to preserve them.
Zip Frontend-Code If you selected Zip User-Libraries you
should also select this option to include
compiled code for libraries in your zip file.
Otherwise, you need to re-compile your
user libraries with the project when you
unzip the zwt.
