Maybe add a object to the block icons....@ pdl 1 = a circle, @pdl 2 = a line. This way you can see which one is used. But I must say, dont know exactly what you want to do here....Are you talking about faceplate pictures, or the typical files? |

During compiling, the system takes the icons from the last typical file it sees.... The standard file is @PCS7TypicalsV8.pdl if you make a copy and name it @PCS7TypicalsV8_temp or something like that, thats the last file, so that block icons will be generated. |

Ok, just a quickie on how the block icons work: In your CFC program, on the blocks you use, you can set a block icon type in the properties. When inserting a standard Motl for example, the block icon MotL is created which has type 1 (if nothing is filled in, its 1). In the Motl properties, you can also set for example 2, so that a block icon of MotL is created with is of type 2. Those types are located in the typicals file. If you create your own, the procedure is the following: 1. Insert for example a MotL 2. In the properties of the block->create block icon set: Oreca1 3. Go to graphics designer and copy the @PCS7TypicalsV8.pdl and set a new name which must begin with "@PCS7TypicalsV8" so-> @PCS7TypicalsV8_Orecaiscute.pdl 4. Select the MotL icon you want, modify it and in the properties of the block icon, change the type to Oreca1. Look in the APL styleguide manual for more detailed steps.... 5. If you now compile the os, the system is searching for the icon which is a MotL and has Oreca1 as block icon type. 6. The system will find the icon in: @PCS7TypicalsV8_Orecaiscute.pdl for example, if you make a copy of above picture and name it: @PCS7TypicalsV8_Orecaiscuteandhot.pdl, then the system will create the icon in this file, not in the earlier one. to find your icon, I think it is easiest to do this: - Check your MotL block - Check the type which is set in the properties - Check file by file, beginning with the last file to search a MotL block icon, which has the same type as in your CFC program |
