WinCC Flexible 2008 faceplate basics

AlecTek Posts: 95 Rating: (0)	1) When I create a faceplate directly from Menu->Faceplate->Create Faceplate, once I close it, how can I re-open it? and how can I make an instance on the HMI Screen? If I select a group of objects on HMI screen and right click to create a faceplate, since there is the instance on the HMI screen, I can drag it to my Library and everything is ok. 2) How can I use a faceplate as a template and create a few similar faceplates? I drag a faceplate from the system library to HMI screen, and drag it back to my library, but any change to an instance I made later after will affect both faceplates in the libraries, ie. they are still the same faceplate. so I cannot create two different faceplates from one template. Thanks for help.
