Importing and Exporting Add-On Instructions Chapter 4
To use Add-On Instructions that have been exported in a separate file, without
references, you must first import any User-Defined Data Types of Add-On
Instructions that the exported instruction references before the import of the
referencing instruction can be successful. To do this, work from the bottom up.
Import the lowest-level User-Defined Data Types and any User-Defined Data
Types that reference them.
Then, import the lowest-level Add-On Instructions, followed by any Add-On
Instructions that reference those low-level Add-On Instructions. Once all of the
items it references are in place, the import of the Add-On Instruction will succeed.
Exporting to a single file
If you manage each Add-On Instruction as a standalone, you may want to export
the instruction and any referenced Add-On Instructions or User-Defined Data
Types into one export file. By including any referenced Add-On Instructions or
User-Defined Data Types, you also make it easier to preserve the instruction
signature of an Add-On Instruction.
Follow these steps to export to a single file and include any referenced items.
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.
