Manage Project - Pack Project

When you select Manage Project - Pack from the Session tab main menu or File - Manage Project - Pack Project from the project editor menu, the Pack Project dialog box appears on your display which allows you to pack a project into a Sonnet archive file with the same basename as the source project file and the extension “.zon”. This archive file makes it easy to move projects from one computer system to another. When packing a project for export, you may choose to include your current density data, external response files and/or your ABS cache data.

Output: Select the Place in same folder radio button if you wish to place the archived project  (''.zon ") in the same directory as the original project being packed. If you wish to place the packed archive in a different directory from the original project, select the Place in this folder radio button. This enables the text entry box below.  Entered the desired directory in which you wish to create the archived project in this text entry box. You may do so either by a direct edit or click on the Browse button to the right which opens a browse window which allows you to select the desired directory.

Current Density: If you have run an analysis in which current density data was generated, setting this checkbox on ensures that the current density data is packed into the archive. If the checkbox is off, the current density data is not copied into the archive.

ABS Cache: If your ABS caching level is Stop/Restart or Multi-Sweep and Stop/Restart then there is ABS cache data stored in your project. If you wish to export this data when you pack your project, then select this checkbox. If you do not wish to include your ABS cache data in your packed project, leave this checkbox open.

External Files:Click on this checkbox to include any external files in your archive file. This does not include optional output files, but only those files needed by the analysis engine, em, to run an analysis. An example would be a subproject referenced by a netlist project.

Additional Files: Click here to open the Additional Files dialog box which allows you to include additional files in the Sonnet archive file. This is useful if you have packed graph files or text files which you wish to send along with the project. All file types are allowed.
