Add display objects

Different display objects (symbols) can be added to a library object to enable those displays to be used in HMI displays created using
FactoryTalk®
View Studio.
To add
FactoryTalk View
 content to a library object
  1. Right-click the library object in the
    Library Content
     column and select
    Add Section > FT View
    . An
    FT View
     folder, with subfolders for
    Substitutions
    ,
    SE Symbols
    ,
    SE VBA Items
    , and
    ME Symbols
    , is added to the library object.
  2. Add a symbol to a library object. Repeat this process for all symbols needed for the library object:
    1. Right-click the
      SE Symbols
       or
      ME Symbols
       folder and select
      Add
      . The Symbol Builder dialog box opens.
    2. In
      Select Display Export File
      , enter the file location for the exported
      FactoryTalk View
       Symbol file and then press
      Enter
       or click the ellipsis (...) button to open
      Select a Display Export File
       dialog and navigate to the file, and then click
      Open
      . The symbols contained in the file are added to the
      Select Root Node/s of Symbol
       list.
    3. In the
      Select Root Node/s of Symbol
       list, select the symbol or group to import.
    4. (optional) In the
      Select Substitutions to Apply
       list, clear any substitutions that should not be applied.
      TIP:
      In a typical application, it is not necessary to clear any of the items in the
      Select Substitutions to Apply
       list.
    5. Click
      OK
       to import the symbol.
