Project To ZIP: to export a project to a zip file.
A Matrex project is a composed by several files in a directory tree:
one file for the project, one file for each item (matrix, function...).
This structure makes it very easy to understand the content of the
project and to modify it manually if something goes wrong, but to
difficult to copy, move or send it to someone.
To solve this problem, you can export the project to a zip file.
To do that, click on this
menu item. You need to:
- Select the project file (project.mxp) for the project you
want to export.
- Write the path of the final zip file (by default the file
name is the same as the project name).
The zip file is saved and you can copy, move or send it.
