RGrow Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 In the Version Change document for 9.8.64 they state: Project Navigation Tree Simple, static HMI elements such as lines and circles now appear on the Project Navigation Tree under Static. I would like to check this out, but I cannot find any information about what or where the "Project Navigation Tree" is, or can I find anything labeled Static. Can someone explain how to get there, or attach a screen shot of what I should be looking for, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted August 14, 2017 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm thinking the "Project Navigation Tree" is the left-hand pane with the HW Configuration, Ladder, HMI, Alarms, Trends, String Library, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGrow Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks UniGuru - But the left hand pane is named the Project Explorer Tree - used to navigate between specific program components. There is nothing new in there. There is also nothing new in "shapes" which I would think "Static HMI elements" would be placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Joe Tauser Posted August 22, 2017 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 They are the same thing. I think the Creators thought "Navigation" was a better word than "Explorer" in the version changes document but that didn't get communicated to the the object namer guy on the software side. Anyway, there is indeed a new category called Static under the display object collection but you have to drop a static item (line, circle, box) to get it to appear: It makes it much easier to modify your display, especially in the case of lines. That particular object is a bear to re-select once it's been dropped. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwires Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Term "explorer" reeks of Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
