File menu > Archive
Archive creates a compressed archive file or a text file listing the scene bitmaps and their path names.
The software program automatically finds the files referenced in the scene and creates the archive file in the executables folder. During the archiving process, the program displays a log window.
Compressed archive files are created using an external program. You specify the name and location of the archive program you want to use in the Files panel of the Preferences dialog.
Procedures
To set up an external archive program:
Choose Customize > Preferences.
Click the Files tab to display the Files panel.
Enter the full path and executable file name, and any command-line option you want for your external archive program in the Program field.
To archive a file:
Choose File > Archive.
Enter a name in the File Name field.
Include the appropriate file extension (for example .zip).
Choose a file type: gmax Archive or List Of Files.
To create a text file, choose List Of Files (*.txt) in the Save As Type list. The resulting file is an ASCII list of scene files.
To create an archive file, choose gmax Archive in the Save As Type list. The archive file contains the scene plus all bitmaps used for the scene.
