Export & Import Design Layout

This is how you save and resume your work in Auto BIM Route.

• Export → Design Layout writes your entire working state to a file — the feeder runs, the routes and their 2D layout, the preferred areas, the routing settings, added panels and pull boxes: everything.
• File → Import Design Layout loads that file back in.

The key point: when you import a design layout, it comes back in the exact same state you exported it. Nothing is recalculated or lost — the routes, preferred areas, tiers and settings are all restored just as they were. So you can stop mid-design, come back later, and pick up exactly where you left off — or hand the file to a colleague and they’ll open the identical state.

Use it to:

• Save a checkpoint before a big change.
• Resume a design in a later session.
• Share a design with a teammate so they see precisely what you saw.
