RE: FtOptix Tag importer suggestion

I was not talking about a tag, I was talking about the internal variable of a UDT used in just about every device in this project. As far as weather they take my post serious, I just cannot give a @#$% any more about that. As a customer I am pissed, I have used AB from the time of PLC 2 and handheld ...

Hi Smith, The key combo I believe you are looking for is the alt key and down, this will open the tag explorer expanding from what you already have typed. As a practice it may help to use split screen, with Controller or program tags on one side. you will also want to enable hotkeys in options this is ...

Can we please add the function to automatically deselect tags that are no longer there and add tags that are part of a UDT change. Manually scrolling through every tag is a real waste of time, and especially irritating when the change is made because of a limitation in the Optix. #FTOptix, #TagImporter, ...

It looks like in the PLC it goes. The following code I used for Timer Preset Entries. This will limit any Entry to two Decimal Places and condition the Timer Preset. gCyclePour.entCalTime is the Text Box, Text Dynamic Link /Objects/N2041_OIT1_v1_2/CommDrivers/RAEtherNet_IPDriver1/RAEtherNet_IPStat ...

I will chalk it down as another hole in the software and add it to the Engineering Unit Conversion AIO in the PLC. I was at one point excited to see the Optix handled conversions, now I find it is not worth it. ------------------------------ ChristianKovacs[City][State] ------------------------- ...

Hi, has anyone found a method to Limit the Number of Digits that can be entered in a text box? We only want to use 2 decimal places of accuracy. The modifiers only seem to effect Display not Entry. using (0:n2) as the format for the Text Box but this still allows me to enter 2.019 or 2.0101 #FTOptix, ...

I am really getting disappointed and frustrated with this. Temperature labels that work on one page, and then copied and pasted to another screen will not convert between Metric and Imperial, they are using base unit f and c. The buttons that change the (Session)/ActualMeasurementSystem@NodeId are in ...

Hi Sharen, Another way to do this is to add a variable not Analog, and then right click the variable and add a range to that. The only advantage to this method is to limit what type of data may be entered. If you wish to use Units later on this method will not work and will need to change to an Analog ...

Ok I see what you are saying. I am hoping this will be similar to the transition from ACAD to ACAD Electrical, until I learn the tricks/proper commands it is just going to take time. Thanks for the assistance. ------------------------------ ChristianKovacs ------------------------------

In the transition from View to Optix there are some commands that have been very useful during past development in View but are just not in the current Version of Optix. Are there any plans to add Distribute "Equal Spacing" or Flip, or Group commands to the Optix Tool Bar? They have saved me a lot ...
