Import an HMI project

When you create a local station application you can either create a new HMI server and project, or import an existing HMI project.
TIP:
For more information about importing a FactoryTalk View ME project, see Knowledgebase Document ID: QA601 - FactoryTalk View ME to FactoryTalk View SE Conversion.
When you import an RSView32 project to create an HMI server in a
FactoryTalk View SE
 application, component names that contain certain characters are invalid and will not be converted. The characters that cause this to happen are:
% : ; < > \ "" # { } | ^ ~ [ ] ' / . * ? & =
Extended ASCII characters or Unicode characters are not supported in the names for applications, areas, HMI servers, data servers, HMI tags,
