Clicking the [Select Source File] icon will display a standard Windows File Open dialog:

(2) After identifying the source Project File, area (2) will show the calculations in that source file in a tree-structure list.

 

(3)  Click on the desired calculation in the source file to select it. It will become highlighted.

 

(4)  Click in the current (destination) Project File to highlight a line where the calculation should be imported.  (The only restriction is that calculations cannot be imported into the GENERAL Division or the LOADS & FORCES Divisions, so be sure to select a location other than those two Divisions or any of their contents.)

 

(5) Click the [Copy Calc(s) Into Project at Highlight] button.

 

Notice in the image below the [Wood Beam] calculation is now highlighted in green in the current (destination) file to indicate the location where it will be inserted.
