Hello. Recently, while working in Citect Scada 2016, two issues have popped up that I haven't been able to resolve, mainly,

1. Strings entered into text boxes linked to Unity variables will no longer hold their values, despite previously doing so, and show the entered value for maybe a second before going blank. Of the two issues, this one is the more minor.

2. The second issue just started on Monday, and is somehow consistent across 3 Citect workstation despite none of them having internet access or being connected to each other. The issue is that whenever I try to make any changes in Citect's Graphics Builder, I get the error,
"Cannot find the library (library name).symbol. The library may have been deleted or renamed. Do you wish to change the link? Along with the options of yes, no, and cancel. Selecting yes leads to it asking where the new symbol is, which I am unable to locate, while selecting no removes all trace of the symbol from Citect, and the popup will keep coming up with more and more symbols missing. I tried to select no, and just re-make the symbols missing, however when I tried to compile hundreds of compile errors popped up, despite the program running fine before making the changes. Selecting cancel just closes the Graphics Builder. If I select cancel and run the project the symbols load just fine, however when in the Graphics builder Citect doesn't seem to be able to find them.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
 
I would suggest you contact Citect support - they are normally pretty good. NOID about the first issue but the second issue sound like it might be related to the files pointer - the directory where the files are stored. Check where Citect is looking for the files for the symbols. It will run OK as the symbols are stored in the project file once you use them.
 
1. You should input data from Animation table and check in Citect that data are store or not. If you use OFS OPC Server I have heard same problem like yours you should update OFS server for newest version.
2. Please update pages first by go to Graphic Builder select Tools then click Update Pages after that compile again. If you still have errors you should check project folder that your symbols are missing or not by go to folder C:/ProgramData/Schneider Electric/Citect SCADA 2016/User/<current project name>.
