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.
6.1 Using supersample graphics

by navName binding.
Prerequisites
