Option 1. Export a Class

About this task

You can export a point class.

Exported point class files:

  • Have a .soc extension
  • Can be imported into other CIMPLICITY projects.
Important: Any changes you make to a class within a project will not be reflected in an exported class until it is re-exported.

Procedure

  1. Right-click a class in the Workbench right pane.
  2. Select Export on the popup menu.

    The Save As dialog box opens.

  3. Select the folder in which the file should be saved.
  4. Save the file using the syntax:

    <ClassName>.soc

    Example

    The class TANKV will be exported.

    The export file name is:

    TANKV.soc

  5. Click Save.

Results

CIMPLICITY gathers all the class components and includes them in the .soc file as follows:

Component Folder Retrieved from:
Class configuration Classes
Scripts (.bcl) files Scripts
CimEdit (.cim) files Screens

A class developer can import the class into a different project and work with the class configuration.
