Rockwell Automation 20D-DL2-CKS1 Import/Export Project Components - Manual (Page 35)

Import and export logic components Chapter 1
If the project has project documentation turned on, all language-switched
comments from the .l5x file are imported into the project. This may result in
additional languages being available in the project after import. Selecting a
language in Current Import Documentation Language allows you to edit that
language’s comments from the import file during the import configuration
process.
If the project does not have project documentation turned on, you can import
only one set of localized comments from the import file. In this case, selecting a
language in Documentation to Import determines which language’s comments are
imported with components from the import file. You can edit the language’s
comments during the import configuration process, but only the final language
selected when import proceeds is imported with components.
Important: Only comments associated with imported components are brought in from the import file. If an existing
component is used, import file comments for that component are not imported.
Important: Multiple localized alarm messages can be stored (in configuration of ALARM_ANALOG or ALARM_DIGITAL
tags) even if the project does not have project documentation turned on. Therefore, all alarm messages are
imported, regardless of the Documentation Language to Import selection on the Import Configuration
dialog box.
Important: The Documentation Language to Import selection does not affect the setting of the language defined in the
project after import.
Use the Find controls in the Import Configuration dialog box control bar to
search for text within the Import Configuration dialog box. Use the Find /
Replace dialog box to configure whether the Find searches through the Import
Name, Final Name, Description, Alias For, and the Data Type check boxes. As
the search progresses, the Import Configuration dialog box automatically
switches to different panes within the dialog as needed.
You can replace text boxes during the search to facilitate development of a
component template that you can import repeatedly, replacing template text
during each import. When designing a program template, during a program
import, the program tag names and descriptions cannot be edited or replaced.
However, during import you may edit the names and descriptions of controller-
scoped tags referenced from the program. Similarly, when importing an equipment
phase, you cannot edit the names and descriptions of tags in the equipment phase,
and when importing an Add-On Instruction, you cannot edit the names and
descriptions of the parameters and local tags.
Use these steps to find and replace text during the import configuration process.
1. Click Find/Replace in the Import Configuration dialog box.
2. In the Find What box, enter the desired text for the search. You can enter a
search string or select text from a previous search.
