Installation and Update Guide > Import from other cadett ELSA > Detailed description of refined selections > Projects > Copy the projects to the main project directory specified below

If you select Copy the project to the main directory specified below, copies of the projects will be created in the installation of cadett ELSA that you are importing to. These copies will physically be placed in a directory that you specify in the field below. Normally this can be the same directory as used for cadett ELSA’s project samples (usually \PROJ).

Please note that if the cadett ELSA installation that you are importing from is in use, you will end up with two identical projects, one in each installation. This can be either good or bad, depending on the situation.

Please also note the SOURCE directories of the projects that you import, will be named after the project short-name, regardless of the original name of the SOURCE directory itself. The SOURCE directories will be placed directly in the specified project directory (\PROJ or similar), regardless of where the original was located.

The limitations that are described above make this option less useful than the alternative in most situations.
