Importing Transfer Information
Follow these steps for using the import transfer utilities feature:
1. Under the Services menu select the Transfer Utilities, then Import Settings and Files.
2. You should now see the Select Information to Import dialog. In this feature you have ability to select items to
import and use in your program. By default all settings and files in the exported file are selected, so if some
setting or files are not desired to import you will have to remove them manually. The next setting you have
to choose is the if you want to “Create New Items if Duplicates Exist” or “Replace Duplicate Items with
Import Item”. These settings will allow you to create all new or replace system settings or files if conflicts
exist between the files you are importing and what already exists in your system. In most cases you will
create new but the option is there to replace if needed. Next you will need to click the Import button to
complete the process.
3. The import process should not take very long, but if backgrounds are being import the process could be
slower depending on the image sizes. After the import process is complete you should have the ability to
use any of the settings or files that were imported.
NOTE: On both the Transfer Import and Export dialogs there is a button provided called "Set As Project
Transfer Default". Once you have made your selections for transfer import or export, click this button to
create a global transfer file that all the projects in your system can use. When you open a project it will
automatically check to see if it has the latest transfer file, if not it will ask you if you want to load the transfer
or not. This option is a very easy way to keep all your projects updated with the settings and items that you
want to commonly use.
