1. Click and hold a handle for a moment before trying to move it.

Project Packager

The Project Packager can used to bundle up every file associated with a project and create a Zip file.

You can find the Project Packager under Project > Project Packager


















Or Right Click on a Project and Select the Project Packager


click on image to view


Follow the defaults, select Next > Next > Next > Finish


















Take a look in project's folder and you will find a zipped up copy of your project.












Tip: You can add other documents to a project that will be included in the Zip file.




I often add other files to a project such as BOM templates and stack up drawings.

That's It.
