To export the latest version of the current scenario of the network to SWMM5 file:

  1. With a network open, select the Export | Export to SWMM5 option from the Network menu. This will display the Choose Export Data Source Dialog.
  2. Choose the Data Source Type and click OK. This will display a standard File Save dialog.
  3. Choose a location to save the exported file to, type in a file name and click Save. This will display the SWMM5 Export dialog.  
  4. Use the SWMM5 Export Dialog to map between InfoAsset Manager and SWMM5 fields.
  5. Click OK. The file will be saved with a default file extension .inp.

Alternatively, right-click on the network to be exported and select Export | to SWMM5 from the popup menu. The Select Network Version and Scenario Dialog will be displayed allowing a previous version of the network scenario to be exported.
