simulinkproject is not recommended. Use currentProject or openProject instead. For more information, see Compatibility Considerations.

Syntax

export(proj,zipFileName)
export(proj,zipFileName,definitionType)

Description

example

export(proj,zipFileName) exports the project proj to a zip file specified by zipFileName. The zip archive preserves the project files, structure, labels, and shortcuts, and does not include any source control information. You can use the zip archive to send the project to customers, suppliers, or colleagues who do not have access to your source control repository. Recipients can create a new project from the zip archive by clicking New in the Project Tool, and then in the start page, clicking Archive.

export(proj,zipFileName,definitionType) exports the project using the specified definitionType for the project definition files, single or multiple. If you do not specify definitionType, the project's current setting is used. Use the definitionType export option if you want to change project definition file management from the type selected when the project was created. You can control project definition file management in the preferences.

Open the airframe project and create a project object.

sldemo_slproject_airframe;
proj = simulinkproject;

Export the project to a zip file.

export(proj,'airframeproj.zip')

Input Arguments

collapse all

Project, specified as a project object. Use simulinkproject to create a project object to manipulate a project at the command line.

Zip file name or path, specified as a character vector ending in the file extension .zip. If zipFileName is a filename, Simulink® exports the file to the current folder. You can also specify a fully qualified path name.

Example: 'project.zip'

Data Types: char

Definition file type, specified as slproject.DefinitionFiles.SingleFile, slproject.DefinitionFiles.MultiFile, or slproject.DefinitionFiles.FixedPathMultiFile . Use the definitionType export option if you want to change project definition file management from the type selected when the project was created. MultiFile is better for avoiding merging issues on shared projects. SingleFile is faster but is likely to cause merge issues when two users submit changes in the same project to a source control tool. If you need to work with long file paths, use FixedPathMultiFile.

Example: export(proj,'proj.zip',slproject.DefinitionFiles.SingleFile)
