Select an icon for a shortcut in the Navigation menu

An icon represents each screen in the
Navigation menu
on the HMI device. The default icon is the standard
Screen
icon supplied by
Studio 5000
View Designer
. Change the icon to a snapshot of the screen or use another graphic as the icon.
To select an icon for a shortcut in the Navigation menu
  1. In the
    Project Explorer
    , expand the
    Navigation Menu
     folder and select the shortcut.
    The properties for the shortcut appear on the
    Properties
    tab. Opening the shortcut also displays the properties of the shortcut. For example, open a screen and click a blank portion of the screen. The properties of the open screen appear on the
    Properties
    tab.
  2. In the
    Properties
    window, expand the
    Navigation Menu
    category.
  3. In the
    Icon
    list, select an option:
    • Screen Snapshot.
       Displays a snapshot of the shortcut's defining screen in the
      Navigation menu.
       In the
      Screen Snapshot
      box, select the graphic of the snapshot. Select the snapshot only if you have the screen open in
      View Designer
      . If the screen is not open, "Screen is not loaded" appears. To update the picture in the
      Navigation menu
      after changing the appearance of the screen, select the snapshot graphic again.
    • Predefined icon.
       Displays an icon for the screen in the
      Navigation menu
      . In the
      Predefined Icons
      box, select the desired icon.
    • Folder.
      Displays an image from the hard drive for the screen in the
      Navigation menu
      . In the
      Folder
      box, select the desired image. To select an image in a location other than the default
      Pictures
      folder, browse to select the desired image. Select any .BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, or .TIF image from the hard drive for an item in the
      Navigation menu
      . An .SVG image is not a valid format for the icon of a shortcut.
      The selected image appears in the
      Icon
      box.
