WinCC Flexible Advance - Creating custom objects

Hi everybody,

Sorry for the question, i'm just a beginner in using wincc flex, can somebody help me with my problem regarding on how can i break symbols from the symbol factory so i can create my own symbol? i'm using a TP177B 6" pn/dp color inox...

Thank you very much!

You can create and import your own graphics files for WinCCFlexible then assign them to buttons etc. I don't know if you can add items to the standard libraries.

1st setup a folder that holds your own graphics.
In My Image Folders ... right-click and select New Folder Link

2nd copy the desired standard symbol.
Select the standard symbol, right-click and select Open Containing folder, then select the symbol(s) to copy and hit CTRL-C.

3rd goto your own image folder, right-click and select Open Containing folder, then paste with CTRL-V.

The copied symbols should now be available in your own symbol folder. Select one, right-click and select Open Program to edit Image. Now you can modify the image to your own requirements.

aside from adobe photoshop, do you have any recommended programs for editing these symbols? thanks a lot!

Gimp is a much cheaper (free) option.

Paint.net is another option.
