Development Environment
3.7.1 Components
The Component Library includes a large number of predefined graphical objects,
categorized into groups. User-defined graphical objects and other files may also be
saved in the component library. All components in a sub folder must have unique
names.
Examples of components that may be included in the library:
• predefined components
• objects
• text objects configured with multiple texts
• symbol objects configured with multiple symbols
• grouped objects
• external pictures
• text
• folders (file folders)
• HTM/HTML files
• media files
• PDF files
Since plain text can be saved as a component, it is possible to save reusable script
components by dragging a section of script code from the Script view into the
Component Library.
A component is displayed with its name and a thumbnail representation in the
Component Library window.
Grouped objects are displayed as a thumbnail representing the primary
selection of the object. Text files and folders are represented by operating system
thumbnails.

ProjectPictures
The Project Pictures folder is p
roject specific, and contains pictures that are used in
the current project. The compo
nents in Project Pictures are stored in the project’s
Symbols folder.
ProjectFiles
The Project Files folder is project specific, and contains files that have been added
when creating the project.
Project files and folders can be added and deleted from the Project Files folder
before downloading the project to an operator panel. The Project Files folder
is located in the Project folder.
For instance, “C:\MyProjects\ProjectFolder\Project Files”.
It is also possible to access the operator panel via FTP to add and delete files and
folders after the download, provided that the FTP service is enabled in the project.
