Create graphic displays

These instructions describe how to create a standard graphic display. The process is the same for creating library and global object displays, except that for library displays, you work with the
Library
folder and for global objects you work with the
Global Objects
 folder.
TIP:
You can also add graphic displays from another FactoryTalk View application into the application you are currently editing, or import XML graphic files that have been exported previously from the current or another application.
To create a graphic display
  1. In the
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     Explorer window, expand the HMI server and the
    Graphics
    folder, right-click
    Displays
     and select
    New
    .
  2. Use drawing tools to create and arrange the objects in the display. Pattern, and background and foreground color can be applied before or after drawing an object.
  3. Attach animation to objects, as required, to animate them with real-time data.
  4. Right-click any empty area on the display and select
    Display Settings
     to specify the runtime settings as required.
  5. Select
    File
     >
    Save
    .
    TIP:
    The following are reserved names in the object model and should not be used to name a graphic object or display:
