In Citect SCADA 2016, how to import libraries from another project

Hemant over 1 year ago

Hello All,

We are working in Citect scada 2016 (version 8.0). We have a referance project with its own library of Symols, genies etc. We want to same library.

If we include the referance project in our porject then entire library is availble for use however we want to avoid that for some other reason.

Is there any method by which we can export library of symbols/genies from other project and import in current devolopement projects.

Thanks in advance...

Symbols and genies are stored in *.ctl and *.ctm library files. So far I have had no issues when I copy these files from one project to another. Do not attempt this with graphic pages however (*.ctg / *.ctf) as this WILL cause problems.

Refer to TN000026997 for the files that are used for the graphics.

As with Patrick's caution, use witrh care - back up your projects before you chage the files.

I've had small issues (If I copy the library over with the select dialog open, the new genies or symbols will not show up - restart graphics builder to refresh)
