Hello there,
I have developed a project in Control Expert before 3-4 Months.
Now I have to open that project backup (.stu file) in another computer with the same version of the control expert software.
The project is opening successfully but I am getting errors from DTM, Because I have used 3 external EDS files for third-party Ethernet IP devices while the development.
Now I do have only txt version of that three eds filed which I have used while developing the project.
Is there any why to add eds using that txt version of eds to get rid of the DTM errors ?
Please refer attached images.

I'm unsure why you've tagged Steve Beadle (twice) for your post. Unless you're replying in an existing thread, or otherwise drawing attention to something specifically involving a person, it would be better to not tag people in new topic posts.
As to your question about adding an existing EDS file
Under the DTM Browser, then Device menu -> Additional functions -> Add EDS to library
It will then let you browse for the EDS file (which should have the file extension of .eds) and add it.
EDS files contain only text (in an ini file format), so not quite sure what you mean about your EDS files only being txt format.
