Managing FDT Project

Creating New FDT Project

You can create a new FDT Project using New FDT Project.

Deleting FDT Project

You can select and delete the FDT Project using Delete FDT Project. The confirmation dialog “Do

you want to delete FDT project?” appears.

Copying FDT Project

You can select and copy the FDT Project using Duplicate FDT Project. You must specify a new

name for the FDT project.

Exporting and Importing FDT Project

You can select and export the FDT Project to an external file using Export FDT Project.
The default folder and file name/location for Import/Export FDT Project is “$(FieldMate install

folder)\Export.”
The default file name after using Export FDT Project is “(FDT Project name).fmpjt.”
Also, you can also import that file using Import FDT Project. If another file with the same name

exists in FieldMate, the import is aborted and an error message appears.

TIP

The FDT Project cannot be created, deleted, copied, exported, and imported while DTM Works is running.
You can open the FDT Project and rename it by right-clicking the name of the FDT Project .
DTM Works enables you to open only one FDT Project at a time.

Update and Scan Devices

In UDC mode, you can update and scan for live devices that are connected to FieldMate. When

you update and scan for live devices, the status and progress of the operation are displayed in

the status bar of FieldMate.
