Export as a Zipped RoadEng project

Updated February 07, 2025

On certain occasions, you will need to share your design with a colleague, customer, or the support team. The best way to send a design without causing issues with lost references is by including all the files that are being referenced, such as the Topo file (.terx), design file (.dsnx), background images (.terx), and images in Multi-Plot. The most effective method is to export everything as a Zipped RoadEng project (.zip).

In order to export a Location design as a Zipped RoadEng project, we need to follow a couple steps:

Export from Location as a Zipped RoadEng Project file:

• File| Save As
• Select Zipped RoadEng Project.zip from the format drop-down list.
• Enter a file name, press Save

After following these steps, you will have a compressed folder as shown below.

• Select the folder I Right-click on it I Extract All...
• This will create a folder where you'll find all the files referenced in the RoadEng Project.
