Local Export

Use local export to save your project data as a JSON file — either a full graph representation or a bill of materials (BOM). Save it to a local folder or a network drive for sharing or further processing.

When to Use Local Export

Choose ERP Export (JSON → File) when you need to:

• Share project data with a colleague or external system
• Back up a snapshot of the current project state
• Feed data into a tool that accepts JSON input

For sending data directly to an ERP system, see ERP Export instead.

Export a JSON File

1. Click File → Export → ERP Export (JSON → File), or press Ctrl+J.
2. If any parts have unresolved errors, a dialog lists them. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to abort.
3. Choose a save location. The dialog suggests <project_name>.json based on your project.
4. Click Save. WSi appends .json if the filename has no extension.

The file is written and a confirmation message appears.

WARNING

Exports containing unlicensed features (welding, machining, coating, punching) are blocked. Contact your sales representative at WSoptics to activate those features.

What the JSON Contains

The exported JSON is either a graph representation (full project structure with geometry and article data) or a BOM (bill of materials with components, work steps, costs, and dimensions), depending on your interface configuration. Embedded CAD files (DXF, SVG, STEP, PNG) are included as base64.

Find Your Exported File

The save dialog remembers the last export location. Subsequent exports default to the same folder.
