# PanelBuilder 1400e import tips

Here are some things you should be aware of when importing PanelBuilder 1400e (*.pvc) applications into FactoryTalk View Studio.

## Before importing

- If you import a PanelView 1400e application whose tag database contains no tags, you will not be able to open the Tags folder in the converted FactoryTalk View ME application. To avoid this, create at least one tag in the PanelView tag database before importing the application.

## After importing

- In PanelView multistate objects, the first state has a value of 1. In Machine Edition, the first state has a value of 0. If the imported PanelView application contains any of the following multistate objects, after conversion, verify that the state values are what you want them to be:
  - Control list selector
  - List indicator
  - Multistate indicator
  - Latched push button
  - Maintained push button
  - Momentary push button
  - Multistate push button
  - Symbol indicator
