Importing and Exporting Add-On Instructions

Follow these steps to export to separate files.

1. In the Controller Organizer, right-click the Add-On Instruction and

select Export Add-On Instruction.

2. In the Save In box, select the common location to store the L5X file.

3. In the File name box, type a name for the file.

4. Clear the Include referenced Add-On Instructions and User-Defined

Types check box.

5. Click Export.

6. Follow the above steps to individually export the other shared Add-On

Instructions and User-Defined Data Types.

Using export in this way lets you manage the shared Add-On Instruction and

User-Defined Data Types independently of the Add-On Instructions that

reference them. One advantage of this is the ability to update the shared

component without having to regenerate all the export files for the instructions
that reference it. That is, it is only stored in one file instead of in every file whose

instruction references it. This can help with the maintenance of the instructions as

you only have to update one export file.
