Is there a way to combine all my projects for each piece of equipment in to one major plant wide project?

A variety of things can be done.

You can import all your projects into one project. Importing a project into another project can be done from the Ignition Designer: File -\> Import

If you are working with a number of the same kind of equipment then it is often good to use templates: [docs.inductiveautomation.com/di … ate+Basics](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC/Template+Basics)

It is good practice to create things in Ignition that can be reused, such as templates, popup windows, Python scripts.

You can create a project for navigating to other projects using retargeting: [docs.inductiveautomation.com:84 … etargeting](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC/Retargeting)

Best,
