exporting documentation

[PLCGuy]

Why won't Do-More let me import my documentation from an existing program? I want to rewrite a program but not have to re-do documentation, X's, Y's, T's etc. When importing to a new program all I get are error messages saying Strings don't exist. I tried different options on the export screen, but no good.
I ended up exporting the whole program then importing to a new, then erasing all the rungs so all I had left was the documentation.

I'm guessing that you have some user data blocks that you have nicknames for that existed in your "old" project, but do not exist, or are incompatible with your "new" project.

Can you post a screen of the Output Window errors?  Or possibly Right Click on the Output Window and do Copy All, then Paste them to the forum?

I was trying to import to a new blank program.

Did your old documentation have new user data-blocks blocks?  If so, you need to also import the Memory Configuration.  That can easily be done using Export Project (vs. just Export Documentation).  Just delete the code section of the Program export and you should end up with an empty project with new user blocks and all the element documentation.

I tried the export project, but not the second part. Not sure what you mean  by deleting the code secion of the program export, but I will look at it.

I exported "Program". Selected "Specific Code Block"= $Main. Then imported and I got the documentation and $Main rungs. Interesting, so I went back and selected "Specific Code Block"= Curl_Motor then imported that, it worked. Did the same thing with code block Hydraulics and that worked. So now I have imported everything. Why does it work individually but not as the whole program. I wanted my documentation and selected rungs in the new program so I can modify it. I know, why didn't I just save as Rev A and modify that. That is just me, I always have to try something different.
