Copying Projects in Lakes Software Applications
December 2014
There are many reasons why it may be necessary to create a copy of a modeling project. You may want to make edits to a scenario without overwriting previous results, or you need to re-run the project using a different set of meteorological data while maintaining the rest of the inputs.
Each of Lakes Environmental’s software products contains the Save Project As wizard to make copying projects simple.

This tool will save all of the necessary project database information while simultaneously creating copies of all user-selected files. Features of the tool include:
- Save Project As: Specify the name of the copied project.
- Look In: Select the folder where you want to save the copied project. It can be in the same directory as the original project or anywhere else on the computer.
- Create Project Folder: Saves the project in its own separate sub-folder. Unchecking this option will save the copied project files in the selected directory.
- Select Files to Copy: Choose which files from the original project you want to keep. You can choose to not copy very large files to save time and space.
