Download Files (via data synchronization)
Before you download files, use Office Synchronizer to synchronize the field device from which you are importing a file.
Downloading a file creates an export file, and copies it to the data synchronization area for synchronizing.
To download a file and import it into a project:
- Open the project into which you want to download the file, or start a new project.
- Open the Device pane by doing one of the following:
- Select Device Pane in Home > Data Exchange.
- Press
The Device pane displays.
Note: If a field device is directly connected, you will not be able to continue. Disconnect the device and start over.
- Click the Select Device Category icon located at the top of the command pane and verify that Office Copy is checked in the drop-down list. The contents of the data synchronization area display.
- Select the device from which to import the files.
- Select the files to import and do one of the following to import into the project:
- Click the Import icon located in the toolbar.
- Click and drag the selected file(s) to the plan view of the project.
