Exporting Windows

You can export application windows to:

• Create or maintain a library application of all windows.

• Create remote tag references in another application.

You must convert an application to the current version of the InTouch HMI software before you can export windows.

When you export a window, all objects and animation links associated with that window are exported. The tags associated with the objects in the window are converted to placeholder tags to prevent existing tags in the destination application from being overwritten. For more information on converting placeholder tags, see Converting Placeholder Tags for an Imported Window.

Important: If you move InTouch window files using any method other than importing or exporting them, the application’s Tagname Dictionary can be corrupted.

To export a window

1. Close all windows in your current application.

2. On the File menu, click Export, click Visualization, and then click Windows.

3. Select the windows to export, and click Export.

   The Open Folder dialog box appears.

4. Select the folder of the application to which to export the windows.

5. Click OK.

6. If a problem occurs, the Problem with Export Operation dialog box appears. Click the option for the action you want to take and then click OK.
