5.8.2.2.8.  Move project

Project files can be moved to any positions in the directory tree.

Moving can be performed with different methods:

  • Via context menu command (alternatively via shortcut "Strg+X" and "Strg+V")

  • Via Drag & Drop

If you want to move several projects all at once, select them with pressed Ctrl key before.

  1. Select the desired project (also several) and click on Move project.

  2. Select the desired directory where you want to insert the project (or several) and click on Insert project.

    -> The dialog box Move project is opened.

  3. If the projects are not part of an assembly, disable the option Adapt links in assemblies (if set) and confirm with OK.

    [Note]Note

    Project files may be part of an assembly. In this case, the assembly must also "be informed" of the new file location (path). Otherwise, the assembly will be unable to "find" the individual parts in question and, consequently, will be unable to assemble the assembly.

    You should thus activate the Adapt links in assemblies option and enter the Assemblies path (browse button ... in which the assembly is located.

    Confirm with OK.

Procedure when using drag & drop
  1. Select the desired projects with pressed Ctrl key.

  2. Press and hold the shift key during the drag & drop action.

  3. Now drag the whole selection into the desired directory. Moving can be recognized at the missing symbol besides the mouse cursor.
