activate a context menu on a C/C++ project and select <b>Import...</b>.

<p>
To import the settings into a project do the following:
<ol>
<li>
Select a file that contains the settings to be imported. The file
must be in the same format as generated by the <a href="settings_wizard_export.html">
project settings export wizard</a>. The wizard quickly parses
the file to determine what types of settings it contains. If
the file cannot be parsed an error message is displayed.
<li>Select a project. Only open C/C++ and Remote C/C++ projects are listed.</li>
<li>Select a build configuration</li>
<li>Select the types of settings to be imported. Only the types of settings actually
contained in the file are displayed.</li>
<li>Click <b>Finish</b></li>
</ol>
</p>

It may be necessary to perform a reindex for some of the new settings to take effect.
For example if include paths were imported a reindex may be required for the indexer
to pick up header files from the new paths.
