[Import] Command (Project Menu)

The Project Menu Import Command uses a wizard to import projects from a PC, the current controller, or a controller status folder.

When a project is imported, the files are copied to a new project folder, so the original project is not changed.

You can only import projects created with Epson RC+ 8.0 or EPSON RC+ 7.0.

KEY POINTS

---

When importing projects created with earlier versions than EPSON RC+ 7.0, import the project into EPSON RC+ 7.0, and then import the imported project into Epson RC+ 8.0.

For details on the conversion method, see below.
