Projects, versions, import and export

Projects

All projects are kept in the database of the program.

• New project creates one and opens it.
• Open project… (Mod+O) lists them with their dates. From there you can also duplicate a project or delete it.
• The program opens the last project again on the next start.

Changes are saved by themselves about a second after you make them.

One tab edits

A project is edited in one browser tab at a time. Another tab, or another browser, shows it read-only with a banner; it can take over editing when the first tab is closed. This keeps two tabs from writing over each other.

Versions

The program keeps versions of a project:

• automatic ones, at most one every 10 minutes while you work; the newest 50 are kept;
• named ones you save with Save version…, e.g. "Sent to customer"; they are kept until you delete them.

Versions… lists them. View shows a version read-only, Export… saves it as a file, Restore makes it the current state of the project (the state before is kept as a version too).

Import and export

• Export .iusch… saves the project as one .iusch file, with the pictures of its parts and its own symbols inside, so it opens complete on another computer.
• Import .iusch… reads such a file into the database as a new project.
• Exports for other programs: PDF and the markers for a marker printer (Reports and PDF), tags CSV and devices JSON for the SCADA (PLC and SCADA), the parts list as CSV.

The example project is a .iusch file inside the program: Open example project.
