Import Icons into a Library Block

You can import some image files into the icons block of a library.

1. In System Browser, select Project > System Settings > Libraries > L4-Project or L3-Region or L2-Country > […] > [library] > [icons block].

2. Select the Icons tab.

• The Icons expander displays any icons already imported into the block. You can drag the percentage slider to view them in a larger or smaller size.

3. Open the Import expander.

4. Click Browse.

5. In the Browse for Folder dialog box, do the following:
   a. Navigate to the folder containing the icon files you want to import.
   NOTE: Supported file formats are BMP, JPG, PNG, or XAML.
   b. Click OK.

• The Import expander displays all the icons (of the supported formats) found in the selected folder. You can drag the percentage slider to view them in a larger or smaller size.

6. Select the icons you want to import by clicking them. You can also use the Select All or Clear All buttons.

7. Click Import.

• The system starts importing the icons. Check the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Note that once the import starts, you cannot cancel the operation.

• When the import is complete, the imported icons display in the Icons expander.

• The imported icon files are stored at the following path: [Installation Drive]:\[Installation Folder]\[Project Name]\libraries\[library folder]\[library]\Icons.

If you update an existing icons library, icons that have the same name are not overwritten but the new version appears with the same name followed by _[icon version].
