Hello Experts,

How to open .zap14 file in TIA portal V14? It can only open .ap14 files.

 Hello,

Procedure
To extract a project archive, follow these steps:

1. Select the "Retrieve" command in the "Project" menu.
   The "Retrieve archived project" dialog opens.
2. Select the project archive.
3. Click "Open".
4. The "Find folder" dialog opens.
5. Select the target directory to which the archived project should be extracted.
6. Click "OK".

Result

The project is extracted to the selected directory and opened immediately. If you extract a
project archive that includes a project from the product version V13 SP1, you may have to
upgrade the project. You will automatically receive the corresponding prompt as soon as you
open the project.

For more details please download manual from the following link

Hope this helps.

Try to avoid "TIA Portal" and change to normal PLC programming environment/supplier.

Engineering hour is too expensive to use the tools that primary school children could make better. 

P.S:

Amateurs that "programmed" TIA portal did not put Retrieve in initial screen.
