Hello,
We are beginning to use the View Designer software for the newer Panelview 5500 and 5300 HMIs.
I one we are starting with is the 5300 10".
I'm still getting use to the software and trying to navigate my way around it.
In FTStudio I used a lot of the feature available like global objects (looks like that appears to be Add-On Graphics in VD) and i'm just trying to do a couple of things that I would think would be simple but i'm having trouble finding.
Hoping someone with more familiarity with View Designer can help me.
First off, in FTStudio, you could switch the current state of an object using the 'States' toolbar. This gave you a quick way to show different states of the object so you could see how it would look depending on the state. Can't find something that does that in View Designer.
Secondly, there doesn't appear to be a way to change the colour (or color depending on you cournty/region) of certain predefined object like alarm status button or alarm managers.
Any tips on these and bonus tips I'd love to hear about.
