Importing & Exporting Route
if you want to manually import or export one or multiple routes to a file (for example to exchange with another user or another system), you can follow the steps below:
Exporting
You can export all your Routes from the "Import/Export" button available under the TimeZero button. Please refer to the Import & Export Data chapter for more information.
If you want to export only one route or a specific selection of routes, you can use the "Action" menu of the Route List:
-
Open the "Routes List" by using the "List" button located in the ribbon
-
Select one or multiple routes. To select multiple consecutive routes, select the first line, press and hold the SHIFT key then select the last line (this will select the range). To select individual routes, press and hold the CTRL key and click on the lines.
-
Click on the "Action" button located on the upper right side of the list panel
-
Select "Export Selected Route(s)"
-
Select the export format
-
Give a name to the file that will hold your route(s) and save it
Notes:
- If you want to export one or multiple routes to exchange them with another TimeZero user, it is recommended to use the "TimeZero Data (TZX)" format.
- If you want to export a route in the RTZ format (to exchange the route with an ECDIS system), you must select only one route before choosing "Export Selected Route". This is because the RTZ file can only contain one route.
Importing
To import routes, select the "Import/Export" button available under the TimeZero button. Please refer to the Import & Export Data chapter for more information.
Note: When you import routes from a file, they are added to your existing database
