© ABB University - 6 Revision C Precautions and Limitations Import / Export Do not export or import very large amounts of aspect objects at one and the same time. It is very time consuming and as the Import/Export tool loads the system significantly, you should avoid doing this for longer time periods. The export is completed only after saving data on the archive file (the tool holds only references to Aspect Directory). Drag and drop is only used for exporting data. Dragging an object or aspect from the Import/Export Tool to Plant Explorer is not the same as doing an Import. Dragging to Plant Explorer only makes a copy of the object or aspect (new GUID will be created). Reservation state of objects and aspects influences the import. Reservation of an object or aspect by another user prevents the import (overwriting)
