Importing an XDX Configuration

You can reuse contents from an XDX file by importing them into MDA V8. Supported contents are:

  • referenced files

  • layers and instruments

  • calculated signals

  • function instances

  • display name rules

  1. On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click .

  2. Select an existing configuration in the XDX format.
  3. In the Import dialog, select the content that you want to import.
  4. All selected objects will be imported into the currently active configuration.

    If just one file is available in the target configuration, and no file is selected in the import dialog, then the input signals of the imported calculated signals are mapped to the available file.

    If more than one or no measure file is available, the original file is shown as entry in the File Explorer, but as a missing file. Calculated signals for which the input signals are not available are indicated with .

    Files that are already loaded in the target configuration are skipped. If another content with the same name already exists, an increment is automatically appended to the name of the imported content. The references of the respective file will stay the same.

    Time offsets for measure files are ignored.

    Note  

    If you are importing a function instance that uses an FMU for calculation, you need to check that the FMU file is available on the target computer.
