This is how I had it setup initially, but unfortunatly it doesn't work. I select Control -> Element -> SpinBox -> MinValue this becomes ../../Control/MinValue@Value althought this value stays red like a broken link In runtime the text stays blank The keyboard itself is setup like this ...

I got it working, but it's still a bit of a workaround in my view. To make the EURange variable work I had add a Range to the value of the SpinBox and attach it to the min and max value of the spinbox like this. We are already struggling on some screens with the amount of binding, I feel like this ...

Thank you for your reply, is there a timeline for the release of 1.7? I'm just updating from 1.5 to 1.6 but maybe I need to wait for 1.7?

Hi all, Im trying to make a custom keyboard in Optix v1.6.2.36 that combines the default keyboard's min and max values together with the preedit control that is now available. If I open this in runtime the values atmin and max stay blank. The way I tried to do this is by binding these values ...

Yesterday I tried tackling this problem and the links you provided were helpfull. I added two extra variables "TagName" and "PLC" and saved the digital alarm as a type named "DigitalAlarmTanis". Make sure that in the Import CSV the Type is set as the "DigitalAlarmTanis" I ran into one more ...

#FTOptix add custom colomns to alarm grid

I was wondering if it is possible to add custom parameters to the alarm definition and also have them logged and show up as a new colomn on the alarm grid? We are using the export and import alarm NetLogic I'm guessing if it is possible that also needs to be adapted? -------------- ...

The amount of items that needs to be checked is about 80% compared to 20% that is not needed, I'd rather "Check all" and uncheck what I dont need. Do you know of a way to check all through scripting?

I was wondering if there is an easy way to check all boxes in the localization dictionary? In total over 6 HMI projects we are looking at 1000s of lines.

RE: #FTOptix Issues with using the library

Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
The CM_Valve was locked. After removing the CM_Valve and trying to add it again it kept prompting me to "Replace or Skip" which I thought was weird because I had just removed it. I found out that you can open the library like a project and inspect its elements. In here I noticed a lot of duplicates ...

I have a question about using the library in Optix. We have a type with basic elements with the login button as the bottom item. This is made in such a way that if the user does not have a sufficient level for the valve they will be prompt to login. If I put this item in a library ...

If I add the valve as new, everything works as intended. The issues started because I copied the valves from another panel. And the weird behavior I was seeing is that the tagpath in the instance was permantly replaced for a fixed tag to another PLC tag instead of keeping the TagPath point ...

You are correct. _416_6_StrainerOverview is loaded in a navigation panel only once. If I look at the defnition of the _CM_Valve type you can see that we have indeed linked it to the TagPath pointer But for some reason in the instances of this type the "TagPath/Status/Color" ...

There are no types in types in this case. As you can see in the second picture the _CM_Valve type only has "simple" objects in it like polylines, texts, rectangles etc. It is basically set up like any NodePointer demo you can find about Optix.

I asked my colleague and he did create the project manually. Missing a .gitignore file could be another valid explanation of why merging was failing. Just to be sure I will copy a gitignore file from a different project to this one.

I think we have been able to solve the issue again, this time without just deleting the repo and starting over. Our best guess so far is that the issue is caused by the repo and the Optix project name were not matching. After renaming the repo to match the Optix project name we were able to ...
