RE: FT Optix: Sort variables of any UI element by hand

Thank you for your recommendation, that does work. I wrote a design time netlogic and added a NodeId reference variable to it. There I can manually link the desired variable on the target object (which is somewhat cumbersome...). Is there any better way? Like, is it possible to add my design time functions ...

There you go. I hope it was correct to upload the project as .optixz. It would also be cool to allow that file type for upload on the engage platform, I had to zip one file now 😅 ------------------------------------------- ...

I have run into a similar issue and tried to recreate it in a bare project; I have a panel with a variable of type Boolean[5], so it's an array of 5 Booleans. I also have a switch whose value I link to every element of the array. Goal is e.g. to switch all children of the panel visible for the moment ...

FT Optix: Sort variables of any UI element by hand

I have been creating a couple of variables on a UI element (e.g. a parent panel) and am now deciding to add another variable. I would like to move it up in the list, cause logically it fits better with the first few variables on the object. Is there any way to manually move the variables into a new order? ...

FT Optix: Animating .individual IDs of SVGs

Posted By Maxi Apr 17, 2026 06:07:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I have created an arrow .svg and want to animate it with each individual arrow blinking one after the other to indicate a movement. Each arrow shape has a separate ID that I can address with an advanced svg element property and e.g. change the color / opacity (which works already). Now I thought ...

RE: Optix: Using a Key Value Converter with Colors Defined in Style Sheet

Posted By Maxi Apr 15, 2026 09:29:20 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I think I have not 100% grasped how it works. I have understood that a converter defined in the Converters folder cannot access the Session alias. I have also tried creating a converter object inside the UI folder, but that one doesn't have access to the session either. So whenever I need e.g. a key ...

RE: FT Optix: Advanced SVG: paths with css style not changing color

I can confirm that does indeed work. However, I lose all other functionalities of the Advanced SVG object, so this is not an option either. -------------------------------------------

RE: FT Optix: Get enumeration variable's display name for a label's text

Sure! To define the enum right click e.g. your model folder an select New->All->DataType. A pop-up comes up, select Show All and search for Enumeration. Hit Select and there goes your new enumeration object. Rename it to whatever you like. Double click your enumeration object and you will ...

One more question: As Optix supports the Tiny 1.2 standard, the technote links to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny 1.2 Specification. In exactly this specification, I found several animation features from within the .svg, which would come in handy, e.g. animating along a path directly within the ...

RE: FT Optix: How can I animate an advanced SVG's Stroke and Fill independently?

Posted By Maxi Apr 08, 2026 10:34:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I second this. Separation of Fill and Stroke seems to be such a central design aspect of .svg that ignoring this feature seems like a huge missed opportunity. This results in existing images not being able to be used in Optix since color animations on them will destroy their looks. When strokes are treated ...

I did work my way through the FeaturesDemo already and, as stated, I managed to change colors without problems and am successfully creating images in Inkscape. I am talking about improving my .svg internal structure to lessen work on the Optix side. If I take time to create .svgs, or rather pay a designer ...

I am new to .svg and trying out my luck in inkscape. I was able to draw some stuff and also access IDs + change colors. Now I wanted to improve the handling and have multiple paths use the same color so I only need to change that one ID inside of Optix. Internet recommended using css style inside the ...

RE: FT Optix: Resize panels with mouse drag?

Posted By Maxi Mar 31, 2026 08:36:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
Yeah I thought about that as well and implemented a small test with an icon I am dragging around. Updating the screen size on mouse up works okay-ish but feels weird obviously since the panel is not moving with the image during the drag. So I tried running a periodic task in parallel from mouse down ...

We are imagining an interaction where the user can open several panels independently on the screen and align them however they want. Like open a panel about the motor status and one with a trend next to each other. I have checked out the Objects Dragging example in the FeaturesDemo2 as well as the scaling ...

RE: FT Optix: Alarm Widgets folder from template library missing references

Posted By Maxi Mar 30, 2026 10:54:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I was wondering since those links pop up in the list of broken dynamic links in the "Find broken dynamic links" tool. So they are not broken, just not existant during design time. Would be nice if they'd get another label then! Thanks for clearing this up. ----------------------------------------- ...

I have skimmed through the technical training PDF and haven't found the refactoring paragraph. The PDF doesn't seem to be searchable by text, my viewer (and the browser viewer as well) only ever returns bookmark headers, but no in-page text, and there is no bookmark about refactoring in it. Could you ...
