Hi there,
So, I’ve been “playing” with this software, and I was wondering if there were any ways to imports the variables tables from Factory io into TIA ? I know you can import some tables if they’re in the Excel format.
Have a nice day ^^

Hi,
You can export the mapping of scene tags and driver I/O points by clicking on the export button in the driver window. See more information here: I/O Drivers - FACTORY I/O
Do you have any plans to offer an import feature as well? Drag & Dropping all the tags takes a lot of time, and I oftentimes use a lot of tags to get a scene going.
Personnaly, I find the fact of drag-and-dropping also a bit boring , but it’s also a great tool, since you can put together some entries/outputs which are having differents names ^^. But yeah, it would be a really appreciate feature

Though, our messages should rather be in the #suggestion channel ^^
An import feature is a very interesting idea. I believe it could work by matching PLC to FIO tags. However, you would have to use tags in the PLC that would match by name the tags in FIO 
Another approach - or complementary to this one - is to implement tools in FIO in order to make this process more expeditious. For instance, by using a table of tags we can implement features such as multi-selection and auto-mapping. This is something we are looking into at the moment.
Oooh, I like that approach! I would love me a table rather than the current drag and drop interface.
I’m really looking forward to that big update!
I’m an Engineer, I always love me some tables!
