Saving a project under the same name dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Requirement: The project is open. The project file is not write-protected.

  1. Click “File  Save Project”.

    CODESYS saves the project file with the current project name, which appears in the title bar of the main window. If the project has been changed since it was last saved, then the project name is provided with an asterisk. If this is set in the CODESYS options in the “Load and Save” category, then a backup copy will also be made.

Storage format

Storage format

The storage format of a project is the profile of the CODESYS Development System which is used to save the project after it is created or later modified. This profile contains the version information of all plug-ins of this CODESYS installation and therefore also of all add-ons which are included in exactly this CODESYS installation.

When a project is saved using the “Save Project” command, the storage format is not automatically updated.

The storage format is updated only in the following cases:

  • You save a project using the “Save Project as” command and you select a different storage format in the Save as type list box.

  • A project is open in a CODESYS installation which has a different storage format than the project:

    If then the “Do you want to update the storage format of the project to <storage format>” dialog opens when you are editing this project, then click Yes to continue and click Save Project to save the project.

The storage format of a project is displayed in “Project  Project Information” on the “File” tab.
