Command ‘Save/Send Archive’¶
Function: This command opens the dialog box Project Archive for the configuration of project archives.
Call: Menu
An archive file (*.projectarchive) contains all files contained and referenced in the currently opened project. It can either be saved or dispatched as an e-mail attachment. The dispatch by email is very helpful for providing an employee with all project-relevant files. The file can be simply unpacked again with the command Extract archive.
Attention
The archiving function is not intended for the storage of a project, but rather for the simple summarizing of all project-relevant files.

In order to guarantee know-how protection, CODESYS will not automatically add unprotected libraries, not available as “compiled-library”, to a project archive. If you explicitly select such a library in the list of additional files, you will get an appropriate warning.
