Designing a reusable graphic
Graphic files that are used in multiple views on a local station or even possibly for use across different stations, may supply
an absolute value from a target device in a specific remote station, or a relative value from a device within the current
station. A relative path causes a Graphic file to resolve data bindings to identically named components that reside in different
locations, thus making one graphic file usable in many views. Refer to the Niagara Graphics Guide for more information.
Prerequisites: You have configured the same device names identically in multiple locations. The graphic to reuse is open in
the Graphic Editor.
