DeltaV Operate color lookup table

I'm using DeltaV version 13.3.1.

In DeltaV Operate, I need to modify a dynamo, in order to get appropriate colors.

I dublicated an existing custom lookup table, in order to modify the colors accordingly to project needs and stored the new one in folder Globals/User.

How can I save this new table or export/import it into another system? I didn't find a equivalent file in the PIC folder.

What is the correct way to save those customized items before next update to higher version happen?

Thanks.

  On the DeltaV_Utilities Toolbar (Menu Workspace->Toolbars, Check the box for DeltaV_Utilities) the last button is Duplicate Color Table and will let you select the table and copy it to User.

  Thanks Matt.
  Probably the question wasn't precisly enough. I already duplicated the table, but how can I safe this customized table apart from the origin ones? I need to assure, that this customized stuff is available, even when the system will be updated to a higher version or I need to implement this table to a different system. There is no export function available and in the filesystem, I can't find the specific file, where this table is inlcuded.

  All the items in User are saved into a single User.fxg file in the Pic directory and won't be lost on migration (as long as it gets put back on after upgrade) as it should be treated just like a normal process graphic. The product doesn't put any information into that file so you are safe with not losing your work.

  For any customisation, use USER.fxg file. In any upgrade or migration, overwrite the customised USER.fxg file. 

  There are VBA functions available to import / export the global items from .fxg files. One has to make use of available VBA functions and write custom scripts in operate.

  Hope that answered the query.
