Graphics tab
The best practice in creating and editing graphics is to fully engineer them in a station before making the template. This
is especially true if image files are used as they will likely not be visible in the template graphic editor. Images from
.jar files will be visible in the template editor. Use the template graphic editor to make minor changes to a graphic.
In the view, the left pane is the Nav pane and the right pane is the pxEditor pane. If there are multiple Px files contained in the template the PxFile drop-down list allows you to choose the PxFile to edit. Selecting a PxFile loads the file into the editor and selects the component(s) in the Nav pane that have a PxView component referencing the selected PxFile.
Nav tree controls
- Right-clicking in the Nav pane white space provides a
command popup which selects components in the tree that have a view using the currently selected pxFile. - Right-clicking on a Nav component that does not have a view defined provides a
command popup. Selecting NewView allows you to apply an existing pxView to this component or to create a new pxView. - Right-clicking on a Nav component that already has a view defined displays a popup menu of available views. From this menu,
you can create a NewView, Edit a view or Remove a view. If the Nav component has multiple views defined, there are multiple Edit and Remove commands listed, one for each
view.
