Hi folks,
I'm beginning to pull my hair out over this so if someone could shed some light on what's going on I'd be grateful.
We bought FactoryTalk View Studio SE Edition with PlantPax a few months ago and I've tried to import all the PlantPax images and global objects etc a few times to get the hang of it before we do training but I must be doing something wrong because the global objects and displays are just full of boxes or lines or question marks.
The instructions say you must import the image files first, then global objects followed by whatever faceplates/displays you need at the time and then macros. Simple right? Apparently not, I've done this at least 5 times and I'm either losing the plot or I'm missing something...I'm definitely not ruling out the possibility that I'm losing the plot either.
There are multiple folders within the PlantPax add on that contain images, global objects etc so at first I tried just importing the files from the 'process objects library' folder to see if that worked as it seems to be the main one. In that folder it had images, let's say around 20 global objects pages, a few faceplates/displays and a macro I believe so I thought surely all the files needed to display the global objects are in this one folder. That didn't work so I went on to import absolutely every image from every folder and the global objects and displays will still not display correctly.
Has anyone else come across this before? I will try upload some pics but in the past any pics I've uploaded have been poor quality for some reason :/
