Exporting to a Library

You may export an object from the currently open project to a library, in order to make that object available to other projects. The following procedure shows you how to export objects to a library.

• Look for the object you want to export by browsing the tree structure of the project tab of the Workspace bar, then click once the name of the object.
• Click Project>Export object to library. This causes the following dialog box to appear.

• Enter the destination library by specifying the location of its file (it can be a .pll ora a .plclib file). You can do this by:

typing the full pathname in the white text box;clicking the Browse button , in order to open an explorer dialog box which allows you to browse your disk and the network.

• You may optionally choose to encrypt the source code of the POU you are exporting, in order to protect your intellectual property.
• If you chose and already existing library file, you can enter a version number in the version field in order to keep track of library changes
• Click OK to confirm the operation, otherwise click Cancel to quit.

If at third step of this procedure you enter the name of a non-existing library file, GF_ProjectVX code creates the file, thus establishing a new library.
