Importing and Exporting Layouts Moving Packing Partner to a new PC |
Importing and Exporting Layouts
To copy layouts, either use the import and export functions in the layout designer, or use explorer to copy and paste the files in the layouts folder.
|
Export/Import a single layout: Open Packing Partner and click on the layout designer button. On the page toolbar (top left), click the drop-down button next to New and select Export Layout to save to disk. On the other PC, from the same menu, select Import Layout and browse for the exported file. All picture files are copied with the export, so you can use the exported file to email a layout or as a backup. Changing the file name of the exported file, does not change the name of the layout. Copying layouts from explorer: To copy all layouts, open packing partner and click the about button, then select data folder. This will open an explorer window. All layouts are stored in the layouts folder. You cannot rename a layout by changing it's file name. You must rename layouts in the layout designer. |
Moving Packing Partner to another PC
When you are ready to move to a new PC, you will need to request a key reset from AiMCo (contact us) . Once the key is reset, you won't be able to use Packing Partner on the original PC.
After installing and registering on the new PC, copy your data files and folders from the old PC to the new and export and import registry settings.
