Import or Export Project Information

Issue Description

Users may need to transfer project information, such as the project name, description, site name, or client details, from one Archicad project file to another. However, it is not immediately clear how to import or export this data effectively, leading to manual re-entry of information and potential errors.

1. Go to File > Info > Project Info.

2. Export Project Information

• In the Project Info dialog, click the Export button.
