Help the project dummy get one into X18 begun in X17

[GeneDavis]

I have only one project going and began it in X17 using project management which I don't really understand.  I want to stop working on it in X17 and get it into X18 for the rest of the duration.

 

How is this done?  I have X17 running and both .plan and .layout files open for this job.  I have X18 running.

You will export it from x17 and import into X18. Do you intend to work in X18 from now on? Sounds like the answer might be yes. If so, You might want to reset migration setting in X18. Close and restart X18 and it migrate everything over for you. I think you just need to select the items you want it to migrate.

Thanks Shane @PitMan71.  I exported the X17 project file (**.caproj) into a folder, then opened X18 and imported the .caproj file using IMPORT.

 

Seems clunky but now I have it in X18 managed files space.

I agree that it is a little clunky at this point. I like the managed files concept better than the old way, but i do wish it were simpler to open the file on another device without the export/import hoops. I believe there will be a future cloud option to address these concerns which would be awesome. Until then we will operate this way, which i am okay with.

you didnt need to use import, you can just double click the caproject file and it will open in X18 if you said yes to making x18 associated with caproject files.
Its pretty quick, right click your project in x17, hit export. Then find it where you exported and double click it to open in x18
