2. Click File → Order export ...
3. Use the Export format dropdown to select PMX Export or Configura SIF
4. Click to update the Export url: The SIF will save to this path.
5. Optional: Specify Filter Settings to control what is exported.
6. Optional: Click Settings to enable "Use manufacturer specific export"
7. Click Export

Project Information

Project information can be transferred from CET into Spec using the Project Information dialog found in the Tools menu. The information will be transferred to the fields as indicated in the images below when the View Part in Spec button or the PMX export are used to export the project. This information will not be exported using the SIF formats. 

The fields will transfer as follows. 

The Revision Number field will show "CET" indicated that the information came from CET. 

While some fields sync across multiple Project Information tools, some data from manufacturer specific Project Information tool may not transfer.
