The "Project utility" is a tool to fix an [[Fcstd_file_format|FCStd]] file in case it's broken for any reason. Since an FCStd file is a zip archive the tool offers a function to extract a project, then the user can e.g. make changes on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML Document.xml] (or whatever he wants to do) and then he can build again a valid FCStd file.
The '''Project utility''' is a tool to fix [[FCStd]] files in case they become corrupt and won't open in FreeCAD. Since essentially, the FCStd file is an XML file that is a '''zip''' archived, the '''Project utility''' tool offers the function to extract the XML file, which then allows the the user to dissect the error, make the correct changes to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] directly, and then zip up the FCStd file again.
