I want to reuse screen data, changing only the text of items such as nameplates.

This section explains how to change only the text of items such as nameplates when reusing screen data on a different device.

Setting the string table

1. From the menu, select [Resources] -> [String table].

2. Select the “Use string table” check box, and then enter the string to display on the switch nameplate or text display.

Setting the part

3. Open the part properties, set the string specification method to “String table,” and then select the number of the string to display.
Select “String table” for all parts whose strings will be changed when reusing the screen.

Changing the string

When the details of the string table are changed, the strings of all parts for which “String table” has been selected for the string specification method are also all changed.

4. From the menu, select [Resources] -> [String table] to display the string table editing screen.
Click [Export] to export the details of the string table.

5. The string table can be edited in Excel and similar software, so edit the desired strings in Excel, and then save the file.

6. Open the string table editing screen in VT STUDIO, and then click [Import].
Select the file in which the edited string table is saved, and then import the string table. The details of the string table and the strings of all parts for which “String table” has been selected for the specification method are changed.
