Importing/Exporting Definitions

 

Definitions may be imported or exported to and from projects, or exchanged between users, by saving the definition as a Definition (*.psdx) file.  A definition file contains the XML data elements defining the component or module as it would appear in a case or library project (*.pscx or *.pslx) file.  For more details , see Definitions Branch.

Import a Definition

In the workspace primary window, left-click on the [+] box beside the definitions branch to expand the definitions list.  Right-click on the definitions branch itself and select Import From File. When prompted, browse to and select the definition to be imported, then press Open.

 

Export a Single Definition

To export a single definition (i.e. save the definition to a Definition (*.psdx) file), left-click on the [+] box beside the definitions branch.  Right-click on the desired definition from the list and select Export To File... > Definition (Single)... to bring up the Save Definition As dialog.

 

 

Select a folder and then press Save to save the file as a Definition (*.psdx) file.

Export a Definition with Dependents

To export a module definition hierarchy (i.e. save all the dependent definitions to a Definition (*.psdx) file), left-click on the [+] box beside the definitions branch.  Right-click on the desired definition from the list and select Export To File... > Definition (With Dependents)....

NOTE: If the definition you are exporting is a module, and the module contains dependent (child) modules, then the dependent module definitions will also be included in a Definition (*.psdx) file. When later imported, all definitions will be included in the import.

Export a Transmission Segment Definition to (*.csv)

To export a single, transmission segment definition (i.e. save the definition to a Comma Separated Value (*.csv) file), left-click on the [+] box beside the definitions branch.  Right-click on the desired transmission line or cable definition from the list and select Export To File... > Comma Separated Value (*.csv)... to bring up the Save Definition As dialog.
