How to import Components can be read below. Reinforcement Groups is used as an example.

Example Importing Reinforcement Groups

Importing Reinforcement groups is done by opening the project in question, navigating to components, right clicking Reinforcement Groups, and press Import.

Navigate to the file containing the Reinforcement Groups.

After Clicking OK, a new dialog box appears.

You now have three options.

"Manual selection" - Lets you select each of the Reinforcement Groups you want to import. These will also overwrite existing if a Reinforcement Group already exists with the same name

"Import All" - Imports all reinforcement groups

• Choosing Overwrite existing will import all and overwrite all existing if Reinforcement Groups of the same names exist.  NOTE: This feature is not fully implemented in Reinforcement Groups, and Reinforcement Barmarks.

"Skip all" - Skips, and does not import any Reinforcement Group Components.

Press "OK", when your selection is done, and you are ready to import.
