Hi All,
I have another project with FactoryTalkView ME V11. Instead of copy/pasting the same custom PB object 100 times in my project it seems to me that I could make it a global object with attributes (or as AB calls it, "Global Object Parameter Definitions").
A colleague showed me how to use Global Object Parameter Definitions to link a tag to an instance of a global object. This is easily done with momentary pushbuttons to parameterize the Command and Indicator attributes of a PB. But I want to be able to change the displayed text on the PB (the "Caption") how can I also make that modifiable as well for each instance of this multi pushbutton custom object.
For example, most of my pushbuttons say (Advance/Advanced) depending on the state. But I may want to have one say (Raise/Raised), and not loose my link to the global original.
Thanks for any help you have.
