Copy project folder to new location without link to the first

[Baron Collocott]

Hi,
I've been trying to copy an entire project from one location to another without any ties/links to the original project. I went to http://12dwiki.com.au/backup-a-12d-model-project/ and tried that but it links the two files and if I edit one then it updates the other

Is there a way? Pretty much like using SaveAs in word...

Thanks

The only things I can think of that would still be linked back to the original project would be:

• A shortcut file (*.lnk), which is created when the project is first created (and so probably still points to the old project)- can be deleted
• Sharing data - did you add any shared models or tins to the project before it was copied?

How are you accessing the project that it's linking/editing both?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your reply and help

• I was unable to find the .lnk file. Had a look in the .project folder but couldn't find it there.
• I didn't add any shared models
• I used the copy function from the "Open a Recent Project" dialog box that first opens when loading 12d and copied it to a totally different folder. I then opened the one and edited something then closed it and opened the other. What I'd done had replicated across
