Zip an assembly

The most important part to remember when importing a zipped file.. the name of your zip file MUST match the top-level assembly filename.

Zip an assembly

1. If you haven’t already, prepare your assembly for import.
2. Open the folder that contains your assembly and its references.
3. Select all of the content inside that folder, and package it using your preferred compression method.

    

   Example: On Windows, select all of the contents inside the folder, right-click the top-level assembly, and then choose Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

   
4. Ensure that the new zipped filename matches the top-level assembly filename.

    

   If the top-level assembly is SuperCar.asm, the zipped file needs to be SuperCar.zip.

   
5. You can now import the .zip file into Vertex using the Import → File option.

Zip a part

1. Select the part file and package it using your preferred compression method.

    

   Example: On Windows, select the part, right-click, and then choose Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

2. Ensure that the new zipped filename matches the original part's filename.

    

   If the part is named Bike.step, the zipped file needs to be Bike.zip.

   
3. You can now import the .zip file into Vertex using the Import → File option.
