Importing a Project
You can import existing Axon Ivy projects into your workspace using the Import Wizard. Projects can be exported from the workspace using the Export Wizard (See section Exporting a Project. This allows you to exchange or share your projects with other people.
Accessibility
You can access the Import Wizard over the menu:
File -> Import …
Features
For Axon Ivy users the following import sources and formats are useful:
- General > Existing Projects into Workspace
Imports a project from a project directory located somewhere in the file system into the workspace. The project directory may or may not be located in the workspace directory.
In the wizard page seen above you can select either the directory where your project(s) resides or a archive file (zip, jar, tar-gz) that contains the project(s). If Axon Ivy finds valid projects in the given directory or archive file, they can be (de-)selected for the import and you can decide whether the projects should be copied into your workspace directory or not (which has no effect if a project already is in the workspace directory). After clicking on the button Finish the import is performed and you will find the imported projects in the Ivy Project View.
- Axon Ivy > Axon Ivy Archive (*.iar)
Imports Axon Ivy Archives (*.iar) into the workspace.
In the wizard page seen above you can select the directory where your Axon Ivy Archives resides. If Axon Ivy finds valid Axon Ivy Archives in the given directory, they can be (de-)selected for the import and you can decide whether the Axon Ivy Archives should be copied into your workspace directory or not (which has no effect if an Axon Ivy Archive already is in the workspace directory). After clicking on the button Finish the import is performed and you will find the imported Axon Ivy Archives in the Ivy Project View.
