2.2.3 Import & Export Project
1 Introduction
You can import and export a Process Designer project either as an electronic Bill of Processes (eBOP) or as selected eBOP data to a file.

Export Function
There are two export functions in Process Designer:
1. Export Project as eBOP,
2. Export Selected eBOP to File.
The first option is used to export a Process Designer project as whole. The second option is used if you only want to export specific node from a
Process Designer project, for example libraries, collections or operations. Project files, which are obtained by highlighting a project node, are
exported either via the Tecnomatix-proprietary *.ppj project format or the *.xml data format. Object files are exported either as *.ppd format or
as *.xml format.
To export a project as eBOP:
1. Select the project node you wish to export and select File > Export > Export Project as eBOP from the menu bar.
2. The Export window opens.
3. Select the destination folder and enter the file name in the File Name field.
4. From the Files of Type dropdown list, select either *.ppj or *.xml and click Save.
5. If the export process is complete, a confirmation message will appear.
To export selected eBOP to File:
1. Select the object node you wish to export and select File > Export > Export selected eBOP to file from the menu bar.
2. The Export window opens.
3. Select the destination folder and enter the file name in the File Name field
4. From the Save as Type dropdown list, select either *.xml or *.ppd and click Save.
5. A confirmation message is displayed. Click OK.

There are two import functions in Process Designer:
1. Import New eBOP Project,
2. Import eBOP from File.
The first option is used to create a new project from another project. Corresponding to the export function, a new project can be imported into
Process Designer in either *.ppj or *.xml data format. The second option is used to import data file from a *.ppd or *.xml data format. For
example, you can import a library or study data from another project and integrate it to your current project.
To import new project:
1. Select File > Import > Import New eBOP Project from the menu bar (this option is only available after you close a
running project).
