#### Exporting an Inspection Plan

It is not necessary to export an Inspection Plan (.ip file) if you have released plans with the saved PC-DMIS Planner .cad file. The PC-DMIS Planner .cad file contains any embedded Inspection Plans that have been released. Otherwise, exporting a plan for use in PC-DMIS is another method to make Inspection Plans available for PC-DMIS.

Released plans allow you to import CAD files and be sure that a plan that is released is meant to be released.

To export a new PC-DMIS Inspection Plan, follow this procedure:

1. Select the needed plan from the Plan list and do one of the following:

- Click Export Plan from the Tools toolbar.

- Select the File | Export | Inspection Plan menu item.

- Right-click the needed plan and select the Export Plan option from the shortcut menu.

The Export Plan dialog box appears.

3. Type a name for the PC-DMIS Planner .ip file in the File name box

4. Click Save to export the file. This text file can be imported into PC-DMIS. See “Importing an Inspection Plan”.
