Data Exchange Settings

When you start the export in the ECAD system, you can define the following settings for the export:

Export setting Description

Sources Select the source application (EPLAN Electric P8 or EPLAN Pro Panel) from which you want to export the data.

Import data from cxE after editing Select whether you want to re-import your changes into the ECAD system.

Note
The checkbox can only be activated for the EPLAN Electric P8 export. EPLAN Pro Panel data exported to cxE cannot be re-imported into EPLAN Pro Panel.

If activated, the connection between the ECAD project and cxE is kept and the export dialog window remains open in the ECAD application.
In cxE, an additional ribbon section is displayed from which you can either send back the data to the ECAD system or decouple the project from the ECAD project.

Note
If you don't select this option in the wizard, there will be no connection to the ECAD application after the export and you cannot send the edited data back. If you select the option, however, you can still decouple the project later on in cxE.

clipx ENGINEER target version Select the target application (web application or desktop application) to export the data to. The selected application is automatically launched when you start the export.

Devices to be exported Select the elements configured in your ECAD project you want to export.

Note
You can export a maximum of 10 strips.

If you export individual devices only, these are placed on virtual mounting rails in cxE and you can place them on the required position there.
