Saving User Modules
When user modules are saved using the [Save User Module] command, they are displayed
below [User Module] in the Toolkit window and can be used as templates.
• User modules placed in the configuration window can be saved with project files, but user
module templates are saved as files in a specific folder on the computer.
• User module templates can be exported and imported as user module template files. The export
file includes the component wiring/connection, library, and user module editor data.
• If a user module template is placed in the configuration window and then edited and saved with
a project file, the template will not be changed. Using the [Save User Module] command you can
either overwrite the original template or save the template with a new name.
• User modules created from templates use the same library as the original template. User module
templates that use the same library are categorized as a “user module group.” User module
templates are displayed in the appropriate group in each window.
• If a project is opened on a different computer, only user modules placed in the configuration
window will reappear. Export and import the data as a DME Designer All file in order to reproduce
the user module templates as well.
NOTE
Parameter links (local links) and component links are saved with user modules.
