Thanks for the responses. Definitely puts a hurdle on development time/development consistency for Sysmac Studio projects where there's large portions of device replication, meaning we're unlikely to recommend them to any end users asking for advice.  A lot of copy/paste looks to be the solution for this current jobs requirement though.  

Hi The company I work for is doing an Omron Sysmac Studio NJ PLC project for the first time. Our usual development for alternative PLCs like SE, AB or even older Omron via CX-Programmer allowed us to do some repetitive code development for things like device blocks by exporting a 'known' example code section and then bulk modifying or script creating variations of this and re-importing those code sections.   From our discussions with our local Omron support (Australia) we've been told the current Sysmac Studio does not support exporting xml of code sections any longer (was existing in earlier versions but no longer offered in 'newer' releases) Does anyone have any useful tips on developing projects where would generally have large number of device type code sections, with the aim to consistently repeat device code sections/user defined function block layouts, apart from having to manually copy/paste/find-replace variable names ?  Thanks for any tips or pointers you can offer
