Team Work File - Copied to new location

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In an effort to archive our project at different stages, we copied our .plp file to another location on our network. After the first few times, we started saving it out as a .pln file.

My question is this; if I open up one of the earlier .plp files that was moved to the archived directory, will I corrupt or overwrite anything that relates to the current version?

I guess I'm a bit confused as to where the "bulk" of the information about a teamworked file is stored.

Thanks!

(We're using AC11)

Everything is stored in the PLP file. If you open a copy, you won't damage the original.

That said, you may run into an occasional layout that points to the original file or a library part that's changed. For archive purposes, it's usually best to save the files as PLAs.
