Tools and Parts Needed

WinCAPS III and robot project.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1	Create a backup of the applicable WinCAPS project.
Step 2	The backup will create a project folder. This project folder contains but is not limited to, some folders, and a file with the extension ".wpj".* *Just sending the ".wpj" file is not sufficient.
Step 3	Zip the entire project folder.
Step 4	Attach the entire zip file to your email and send it.
Step 5	If .zip files are not allowed to be sent due to a security policy, we have had good luck with changing the file extension to something other than .zip. For example *.piz is a popular choice. To change the file extension, check the box allowing you to see File name extensions.
Step 6	Change the extension to *.piz, and resend.
Step 7	If your project is not able to be emailed due to file size, let us know and we will set up an alternative method to transfer.
