Create a global library and drag/drop your block in
Done

Thanks for the feedback. The FB1 i've created won't drag and drop into the project library or the global library. I'm wondering if is because i'm still using the trial and not a licensed copy? I'm still waiting for the license to come.
Thanks Boneless, that is very helpful.

I' not sure that's correct mk42, because also I do not have simulation capabilities.
Interesting. Does PLC SIM 1200/1500 show up in your installed programs?
I've managed to accidentally install portal without it before. It might be a separate install? Been a while since I've been through the process, although I don't look forward to it when I get a new PC soon.
Ok, thanks. Maybe it's not been installed correctly.
I've actually managed to add to the libraries now. I was dragging the FB in straight from the ladder when I should have been dragging it from the Devices window.
Thanks.

I should have been more specific in my previous post 
You get what you pay for

Sorry, I don't think I asked which PLC family this is for. PLCSIM is for s7-300/400, and works with Step 7 in both Simatic manager (v5.5) and Portal(v13). PLCSIM 1200/1500 is for the newer processors, although it might not have actually supported the 1200 until v13sp1, or something like that.
Ah ok, that makes sense. Do you know how I get PLCSIM 1200/1500?

Nominally its an optional installed package. It should be with the install for TIA Portal. Go poke in the download or on the CD for something with PLCSIM in it.

You will get a response in one hour, and its free. Forums are great, but sometimes manufacturers support is better. only sometimes
