Is there an elegant way, or maybe is it just possible (and how) to re use parts of a project in a new one. I mean, for example, HMI pages to set up the S7-1200 clock, and the corresponding blocks of code (and DB, variables), and so on... Obviously I don't like the idea of writing the whole thing again... And of course each project will contain parts of many previous ones... Many thanks.

Because I haveI/O mapping FBs, I can write the same program for very similar projects, and change the I/O mapping to match the new projects wiring. Internally it is the same. It does make for some extra code, but does allow for a quick re-wire without lots of code changes. Works for screens, and all pieces of the project. You can also select, copy, and paste it in another project. I have not tried doing this between different versions of TIA Portal. That is probably not a good idea though.
