RE: Modifications to a Template object not correctly propagating to instances

😂 Shane, it gets better! In V1.7 it now works as I expected it to in the first place 🤦‍♂️ To answer your other bit (no matter how hard we try, we never include enough detail and can't read each others minds), Yes, I was redefining the link to the local variable and that's why I expected the ...

Yeah, you're exactly right, I think I'll ignore the built in action and create a custom script to load a screen to a defined panel, which I know will work as I expect. Like you've said, the link to the panel loader isn't explicitly passed my me, but the link is created in the background. I know I'm ...

HI Shane, Thanks for your help and patience with this. In your last example, I completely understand why this one breaks, I'm just still having a purple moment with my problem 😄 My (wrong) assumption is that with my template object, all of the links *are* relative to the object itself and nothing ...

Hi Shane, Thanks for your detailed reply. I get what you're saying an I'll definitely keep this in mind for our library construction going forward. In this particular instance, I won't ever need to change the particular panel loader used, though if that connection is lost when moving it to a library, ...

HI, Yes, I realise this is unresolved at design time. This is the navigation tile from the Feature Demo project. Like I said, it work fine, however if I modify the template object to point to a different PanelLoader (in this case, the one called MimicWindow), all of the instance objects lose their path ...

#FTOptix I've been dipping my toe into Optix and testing the capabilities, with a view to use it as our primary solution and mainly been playing with my own project and the Feature Demo project. We're a large OEM, that in reality creates 100's of variants due to the nature of the end users, but try ...

RE: Suggestion to prevent Zombie processes

I've seen a similar problem solved by presenting the user with a popup dialog, showing the instances and prompting for which to connect to. In your case it may be as simple as it just highlighting to the user that they have more than one process running. I guess it depends on whether you app is expecting ...

Assuming the clipboard remained valid across VM's yes, definitely. I seem to remember trying this but don't think it worked. I'll retest this later today. Since we are able to load two project simultaneously in the same VM, I just assumed this was intended and never gave it much more thought. If you ...

Hi, Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear, I'm not looking to connect to a single PLC with two instances of FTOptixStudio. We are an OEM, though we make quite a few variants of our product. I'm in the process of evaluating Optix as a replacement for our current product, InTouch. We only ever connect the ...

We were hoping that the ability to run two copies of FTOptixStudio was an intended feature. We often open two instances of OptixStudio, as a way of copying chunks from one project to another, which is just a quick and convenient way compared to adding to a temporary library. I'm not sure if it's an intended ...

Hi Jennifer, I revisited this problem and tried the other suggested fix of a bridged connection etc. but that also didn't work. I tried all the openssl checks but nothing remarkable came up. However, I have fixed mine and hope this might help others too. I created a second administrator account ...

#FTOptix Does anyone know if the Tiny 1.2 SVG format supports filters, like Drop Shadow? I've an image created in Inkscape that displays fine in the Edge browser, but when added to an SVG object in Optix, loses its shadow. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's not supported? ...

#FTOptix Hi All, I'm exploring FTOptix to see how it compares to a legacy system we are replacing, which is built using InTouch. We currently have 30-40 screens available to users and have the ability to add a tag to the main trend from any of those screens. I've figured how to script adding new ...

I've also checked and it's working OK. I didn't realise the System object needed creating. The help suggests creating it under Model. Once created, you can browse to System>Application>Fast Blink when configuring a dynamic link. For those stubling across this post, the System variables are not visible ...

Each colour in the Key Value converter can also have an advanced dynamic link. You can then use a conditional converter to switch between your flash colours, based on a flash flag. You'll need to look at one of the demo projects, for example the ROKLive spaceship demo, for the best way to create a flashing ...

Hi Jennifer, did you ever solve this issue as I see the same problem? I've two independently built VM's, both with the same version of Windows 10. Both let me log in fine through Chrome or Edge, but one of them fails to log in through the FTOptix application. Everything seems identical, but I've not ...
