best way to copy the project to other PC

Hello.

 

I am trying to copy the project to other PC, so I can make eddits. What is the best way to do it, to make sure all VIs and subVIs included?

I tried to use the build option. When I right clik on build all I have is: source distribution and web services.

What options I should use when I use source distribution?

I am new to Lab8. I used LAb6.2 before, and I used to save as the library when I wanted to make sure all the required files in one location.

 

After, I copy the project to the new PC, what is the best way to open it? Is it better to open new project and add files, or just open the old project file ( if it was included in build).

 

Thank you

Make a source distribution and include all VIs that are dynamically called.  there is also an option to preserve hierarchy

 

when you build the source distribution it doesn't include the lvproj file so make a copy of the project file and include it into the source distribution folder
