RE: Not enough space for converters to be selected

Thanks for forwarding it and for the support! I would not have walked into this issue if I hadn't had exactly 7 custom converters I suppose 😄 Cheers, Maxi ...

I did some more testing, and found that scrolling starts working again at 8 custom converters. When I have 6 converters, the 6th is still visible but slightly cut off. At 7 custom converters the 7th is not visible and no scrolling is possible. And at 8 converters scrolling is finally possible just the ...

Nope, doesn't work! I already tried that before posting and double checked just now, no success though.I tried different mice (corded, wireless), windowed and full screen. Running on Win11 with Optix 1.7.3.39. Any other things I could try?

Not enough space for converters to be selected

I have a couple of custom converters now in my project. When creating a complex dynamic link and hitting "+", a list opens of available converters. However, this list is too short / doesn't have a scrollbar, so selection of my converter is no longer possible. Only when opened in a separate tab, space ...

Thank you for uploading the recording. It does cut early in the end though, was there a lot more left by @General Quarters?

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: FactoryTalk Optix \ 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 ...

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

Posted By Maxi Apr 15, 2026 09:29:00 AM
Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ 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. -------------------------------------------

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 ...

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 ...

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: FactoryTalk Optix \ 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 ...

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 ...
