Specifying defaults for local file storage and export

Sending layouts and other files using Allplan Exchange (how to)

When you send the files, you can also save these files in a local folder so that you can always check which files were sent and when.

Tip: If you do not want to save the files in a local folder, clear all the check boxes in the Format settings for ... dialog box (see "Specifying data formats for contacts").

You can specify a separate folder for local storage for each package you send. The following section shows how to specify the setting used for export operations.
