By accident I've lost my TIA project and now I successfully upload program from plc (s7-1200) and took folder from PC station - HMI (the one that contains all needed files to run on PC station - wincc RT advanced). I tried to add same devices and then copy folder into project but when I open it, graphics still does not exist. Back then that HMI folder was copied from same place and pasted on PC station. Is there any possible way to open graphics in TIA portal? The problem is that I need to add and change some stuff due to customer wishes. Please help and sorry for my grammatic and spelling mistakes :) Regards.

"Export Graphics Tool: For exporting graphics from WinCC (TIA Portal) to a local directory as original file type" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109562021 But for this to work they need to be visible in "Languages & resources > Project graphics" but it doesn't sound like they are? With the tool you can edit the picture in an external program of your choice. You can also right-click on the picture in the project graphics list and select "Edit". This opens the pictute in paint and changes the pic after saving. You don't need to import it.

If you lost your engineering project, you have to recreate it manually. Best regards, Frink

If you mean you have only the Runtime Files like PDATA.fwc or another *.fwc then you cannot "recompile" or something else the TIA Portal comfiguration Project. (If this is your case then Prof. Frinks is right). so you cannot get out the full Eggs out of a baked cake ;-) In this case you have to do reengineering. Bye Murof
