To export Blueprints Groups

   The file is assigned a default name using the following timestamp convention and saved in the selected location:

   Where YYYY is the year, the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour (using a 24-hour clock), the second MM is the minutes, and SS is the seconds. For example:
