Exporting and Importing Projects

When the project is exported, the images are not included only the path associated with the Image Path property of the image component is. When you import the project into a different Ignition server, the file paths associated with the image components will not have any images to display. It is possible to export the images to a local disk that can accompany the project. The export function is located in the Image Manager

Ignition does not support bitmap files.
