export for existing items

hello, 

i have been diving into packaging and exports lately but there is something i can't figure out. it might seem easy but it's not said clearly anywhere i looked. 

So, let say i customize an already existing item like Parts,  i had actions, modify the forms and i want to export my work

the next step i need to follow are:

1)since itemType Part is in package "com.aras.innovator.solution.PLM" i had to this package the actions, methods, forms and all items that i could have added to the part item types.

2)then using the aras export tool i can either export the whole package or only  the things i just added to the package.

please tell me if i'm right wrong or if i'm lacking some part.

thanks,

lucas

    Hello,

    Using the export tool you should be able to export things based on the selections you make prior to creating your package. You can choose everything or only a single element if that is what you want.

    Hope this helps.

        You will still have to place everything into a package using the default tools, however when selecting to export, you can choose which elements within the package to export.

        An alternative, and what I have been using, is Innovator Admin github.com/.../InnovatorAdmin

        With this tool, you can locate specific elements and export them without a package defined.
