Icon Details
Defines the icon name and image.
Displays an image preview of the specified image file.Preview
Specifies the name to appear in the icon, the description
text, and the tool tip for the icon.
Name
Specifies the image file to use for the new icon. You can
enter the image file name (or complete path) or select it
using one of the following methods:
Image file
■ Browse: Finds an existing image to use for the icon.
You can browse for .sld or .png images.
■ Pick: Selects an existing block name on the current
drawing to use as the image file name. For example,
if you select block HPB11, the image file name edit box
displays “HPB11.”
■ Active: (This method is unavailable if the drawing is a
new drawing and has not been saved) Selects the active
drawing name to use as the Image file. For example,
if the active drawing name is “demo005,” then the
image file edit box has “demo005” listed as the file
name.
The browsed image is copied to the User folder if
wd_userckt_dir is disabled in the .env file.
NOTE The User folder can be overridden by the wd_user-
ckt_dir defined folder if the environment code is enabled
in the .env file.
Enclose the image path in quotation marks if you do not
want the image copied to the User folder. Save the com-
plete path instead of the relative path in the .dat file. The
entered image file name can be names like "PB1" or
"CONTROL RELAY," file names with an extension such as
“pb1.png,” or it can follow the syntax {slide_library or dll
file (slide or .png)}. For example, "S2(pb)" or "S7(control_re-
lay)."
