Exporting Shared Parameters to a Shared Parameter File

You can export shared parameters to a new shared parameter file if the old parameter file is deleted, or if there are shared parameters in a family or a project that are not in the current shared parameter file.

Before you can export them, you must already have added the shared parameters into a Vasari project file or family file. For more information on adding shared parameters, see Adding Shared Parameters to Families and Project Parameters.

1. Create or open a shared parameter file.

   For more information on creating shared parameter files, see Setting Up Shared Parameter Files.

2. Select a shared parameter in either a family or a project.
3. Click Modify.
4. In the Parameter Properties dialog, click Export.
   NoteThe Export option is never enabled if the selected shared parameter is already in the current shared parameter file.

   A message displays informing you that the shared parameter will be exported to the shared parameter file you set up in Step 1.

5. Click OK to complete the export.
