Get As Project
You can get a copy of a project that has been published to Intelligence Central and save it locally. When you use the Get as Project command to copy a project and open it when prompted, the project is added to your Project Manager window replacing your currently-loaded Project Manager file (.tpf). The project files themselves are saved to a location you specify.
Note: This feature is available in the Toad Data Point Professional edition only and requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.
When a project is published to Intelligence Central, it is published as a Project Manager object 
When you Get a published Project Manager object and open it when prompted, your current Project Manager is automatically saved as a file which can be opened again from the Project Manager toolbar.
