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

This seems quite inflexible. It would be great if a lot more of the SVG properties would be made editable to avoid overcomplicating the SVG design process. What would also be great would be able to set the stroke to non-scaling so that whatever size it is, it will always be the width that you set. Otherwise, ...

By magic colour, I mean similar to "magic numbers" in code. In computer programming, a magic number is any of the following: A unique value with unexplained meaning or multiple occurrences which could (preferably) be replaced with a named constant A distinctive unique value that is unlikely to ...

Hi @Hobbs , are you able to define standard colours and then use these instead of magic colours? ------------------------------ Nickm ------------------------------

One important thing to note here is that (I believe), regarding steps 1 and 10, you're not able to supply a literal string value into the global parameter for the display path. This must come from a string tag, as Fuzzy has demonstrated. ------------------------------ Nickm --------------------- ...

You should be adding a Goto Display button into the Global Object for your engine itself as per step 3 of Fuzzy's reply. The Parameter List should be set to: `(#1)` Then on the instances of the global object that you've dragged onto your page, you can set the global object parameter values. This is ...

On the contrary, I don't recommend using parameter files, since you will need to create one for every device. The whole point in using template objects is to get away from having to manually create something for each template, other than the tags themselves. It's been a while since I've used FTV, but ...

Really appreciate the detailed response! I'm not sure how to quote on this forum.. so forgive the dodgy quotes "However, it is approaching the same caliber as Ignition" This is the platform I come from and have been using for the last 7 years, so that's where most of my questions are grounded. ...

Thanks for the info. The issue however that I can see with tagging is that this is not enforced to be added when creating a topic, so searching for specific-product-related topics is therefore difficult and could result in a large number of unrelated results. ------------------------------ Nickm - ...

Optix - How can I animate an advanced SVG's Stroke and Fill independently?

I'm trying to animate the stroke and fill colours independently in an advanced SVG component, but I can only seem to set both to a single colour. Is it possible to bind to these independently? Also, is it possible to configure other SVG properties like: stroke-width stroke-dasharray `vector-effect: ...

Is there a demo project that is available to download that showcases the features of Optix? and more importantly, how to actually do common things in the software? Like (may be different terminology in Optix): creating "tag UDTs" and instances of them creating and using graphic "templates" for things ...

I'm trying to find how I can show topics only for a particular product, but there only seems to be an "Advanced Software" forum that has topics for every single RA product in existence, and when creating a topic itself, there doesn't appear to be a way to denote what product your topic applies to 🤔 ...
