There are example applications and graphics libraries that are included with PanelBuilder32. These include quite a lot of graphic objects for pumps, motors, pushbuttons, etc.

The pertinent default directories are:

C:\Program Files\Allen-Bradley\PanelBulder32\Demos\PanelView
C:\Program Files\Allen-Bradley\PanelBulder32\Demos\Bitmap Library

I think the Bitmap Library is installed by default but you have to specify installation of the demo applications during installation of PanelBuilder32.

hmm

how can i get panelbuilder to import all the graphics? like use that folder as a library?

That's a built-in part of the graphic object handling in PanelBuilder32.

You have a certain number of graphic objects that are made part of the PanelBuilder32 file by default, and then you can Import new objects into the file to make them available as selections for Graphic Image objects.

The Graphic Image Import/Export function inside PanelBuilder32 defaults to the Bitmap Library path when you're importing new images into the PanelBuilder32 application.

From the PanelBuilder32 main menu, navigate to File -> Import/Export Graphics to use that function.

Generally you don't want to import ALL of the available graphics into your project, or the project file will get too big. Just import the ones you want to use.
