Plant view graphics are created using the Graphics Builder application, which is accessed through Desigo

Control Point when working online, and through ABT Site when working offline.

Graphics Builder contains sample graphics and additional tools to help you easily create graphics to meet the

needs of your facility.

Supersample graphics library

This document provides guidelines for the most commonly-used tools in the Graphics Builder program. If your

site requires advanced features, such as custom programming, or if you want to create your own graphic

templates and models, see the J2 Graphics Builder documentation (https://finproducts.atlassian.net/wiki). A

good understanding of graphic programs and commonly-used open source tools, such as Haystack and Java, is

required to successfully complete advanced tasks.
