5.2 Leveraging Existing Files
In practice, a key technique is to recycle files from other projects.
There are three file types.
• Program file (*.pac)
• Header file (*.h)
• Teach pendant panel (*.pnl)
Operating procedure
1. Choose Project|Import... to display an Open dialog box.
2. Select the file to add and press the Open button to add it to the Project and Program list
windows.
Note
• The folder for the file is the one currently selected in the Project window. If that folder already con-
tains a file with that name, however, a dialog box asks permission to overwrite it.
• If you wish to import by folders, choose Project|Folder|Import and specify the folder.
