Import or Export Methods

KAS-IDE provides import and export capabilities to simplify the reuse, sharing, backup, and migration of User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) and their methods between projects.

• Individual methods can be exported and imported independently.
  • This allows commonly used functionality to be reused across multiple UDFBs and applications.
• Entire UDFBs can also be exported together with all associated methods.
  • This preserves the complete function block structure and implementation.

The import/export functionality can be used to:

• Reuse methods across multiple projects.
• Share methods or UDFBs with other developers.
• Create reusable libraries of application-specific functionality.
• Back up custom UDFBs and methods.
• Transfer UDFBs and methods between projects.

KAS-IDE supports these export formats:

Object	File Format	Contents
Method	.XK5	Single method, including interface definitions and implementation.
UDFB	.ZIP	Parent UDFB together with all associated methods and their implementations.
