  2. Click the right mouse button and choose the
    Export
     option.

    This is the name of the .L5X file.
  4. Check or clear the Include all referenced Add-On Instructions and User-Defined Types check box.
    Note that if this check box is not checked, the export file will not contain referenced Add-On Instructions or User-Defined Data Types that are needed to recreate this instruction. In this case, the project you are importing into must already contain the referenced Add-On Instructions and User-Defined Types or the import will fail.
