Overview

You can open the EXPORT window by right-clicking, in the SYSTEM PROJECT pane, a device, a selection of devices, or the Topology node and selecting Export.

It lets you export to file the content of the Topology node or parts of it including related objects such as physical views and physical links.

You can open only one EXPORT window at a time.

The view is refreshed when you or other users modify the topology of the system project or the configuration of objects.
