Importing Library Data

If any data which was exported from the EPLAN Harness proD Library application (*.hxexp files) is available, it is possible to import it into your currently opened library. It does not matter whether the data was created as an export of a library, a category, or individual parts, it is always imported as part(s) with the appropriate category structure.

  1. Select the Library > Import library menu items.
  2. Select the required *.hxexp file and click [Open].
  3. If the same component exists in both the library and the import file, a conflict happens, and you are prompted to resolve it.
  4. Click [Merge] to merge the properties of the existing component with the properties in the import file. The properties in the import file have priority, an attempt is, however, made to merge both. If, for instance, a connector has one pin and in the import file the same connector has several pins, the extra pins are added to the 3D window.

    Notes:

    • The [Merge] button is only available when EPLAN Harness proD Library is connected to an EPLAN Electric P8 master data SQL database.
    • This option does not break up an existing link of the EPLAN Harness proD component to its existing counterpart in the EPLAN Electric P8 master data SQL database.
  5. Click [Overwrite] to overwrite an existing component.
  6. Click [Keep both] to retain the existing component and add a new one with a numbered index in brackets.
  7. Click [Skip] to keep the existing component intact without importing anything.
  8. Activate the Use this solution for all subsequent conflicts check box to apply the current setting to all possible conflicts during the import. This message will not be displayed again.

    The library data is imported. If necessary check the messages in the Import result dialog.

Note:

The list of "non-imported parts" (in the Import result dialog) can be saved or copied to the Clipboard via popup menu items.
