When we refer to “loading” it concerns the opening of a native T3RRA .tci project file. When we refer to “importing” it refers to a 3rd party data file. Whereas a .tci file will *load* in a single step there are sometimes multiple steps to *importing* data as the data may need to be changed or altered during the import process, or there may need to be decisions made during the import in order to get the correct data.</span></span>

</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">When manually choosing the save location there are two ways of navigating to where you would like to save the file.</span></span>

1. <span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">You can use the left portion of the window to navigate through folders to find the desired save location.  
      
    </span></span>
2. <span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">Using the main section in the centre of the window you can navigate to the desired file save location.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">Once you have navigated to the location where you would like to save the file, enter a name for the file and press the save button.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;">  
</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">NOTE: Project files are normal Windows files and can be stored anywhere on the computer. We recommend that you regularly copy your files to a location off the in-cab tablet in order to have them stored safely in case anything happens to your tablet.</span></span>

### <span style="font-size: 24pt; font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">Autosaving</span>

<span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">T3RRA software autosaves project data, You can adjust the frequency level in settings under the advanced tab. This is to assist in case of accidentally closing the software, or software or hardware failure.</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;">  
</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">Autosave files have the same name and location as the open project, with the additional suffix ‘.backup’.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;">  
</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;">  
</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">When a project is loaded a check is made to see if a backup exists for that project. If it does and the backup has a newer date/time stamp associated with it, you will be given the option of loading it.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;">  
</span>

<span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300;">An autosave file has the same format as a regular project. From within Windows Explorer you can rename the autosave file and remove the .backup extension in order to keep both the original file and the autosaved version.</span>
