I would like to see a Web Browser primitive added so I can access a web page from the HMI screen.
here are a few more features that i have on my crimson 3.0 wish list:
[*]categories for alarms and events. I would like to be able to only display certain alarms or events with the event viewer. For example, i would like to be able to separate my process alarms from my system alarms and have these display in two separate event viewer windows. Maybe adding a filter property the event viewer primitive which would allow me to filter the displayed events to only show the ones that contain the filter text would work.
This may have been covered previously, but the ability to do a tag "find and replace" would be sweet. Right now I have about 75 tag references I have to change, one-by-one. If I had this feature, I could do all of them in about 30 seconds.
Yes, I'm not eliminating any tags, just replacing the reference. For example, I have four machine components that are identical but controlled separately. On a single screen I display adjustments and feedback for all four. I have UDTs in my PLC so that each has exactly the same tags but different base references such as North.AccelRate, South.AccelRate, East.AccelRate, and West.AccelRate.
I want to create a single panel with all the controls and feedback for the North component, copy it to the other three locations, and then re-reference each with find/replace "North" with "South" and so on.

My understanding was that he was duplicating pages not tags. If it is tags, there are many easier ways.Maybe I am missing something. Why not just export the the tags and edit them in Excel?
Your probably right. Save the .cd3 then run it through the utility to save it as a .CD2 simple notebook find and replace.
I haven't been so far, but that might be easier that directly assigning PLC tags the way I have been. I will look into that and then you follow up how-to.You could widgetize your page, but I think my method would still work.
Are North, South, East, and West folders?
