8.3 Adding a tag file (STL) in the TIA Portal
Procedure
To add the STL file with the selected tags in the TIA Portal as an external source, proceed as
follows:
1. In the project tree, select "CNC > PLC > External source files > Add new external file".
Note
Displaying external sources (e.g. STL files) using an external editor
The internal editor of the TIA Portal does not display external sources.
If you add and open an external source in the TIA Portal, the file will be opened with the
application linked with the associated file type (e.g. STL) in Windows (e.g. Microsoft Editor).
In order to be able to open external sources directly from the TIA Portal with any external
editor, define this once in Windows.
2. Then generate the data block via the shortcut menu "Generate blocks from source".
