Hi The_G, Unfortunately, this is still a "problem". We've also had a problem where the block icon had a small grey part which was not correct because it was overlapping icons. But, we've had to realign all the block icons because their zero position changed. Not exactly like your problem, but still I hope the block icon generation in v8.2 is solved almost or completely. In the following link, is explained how the create/update block icon functions works: Link. Below is a part of it: 1.Creating a new block icon |

However, I was a bit curious and searched some things. I found something that is might useful! See attachment. Under C:\Program Files (x86)\SIEMENS\WINCC\Options\WScripts you can find configuration files. @@PCSTypicals.cfg is a sort of INI file, which is used in the OS compilation during the create/update block icons function. The configuration file can be adjusted like the attachment says. There is a template file for APL as well-> "TemplateControlAPL". From what I understand is that it is basically a file to define the properties of the block icons that must be generated. I don't know exactly how this file is used, but maybe someone knows?? Maybe you can make sure, the position of the icons is not changed...by simply removing some lines which link to "defaultpos" "leftpos" attributes? And if you have some spare time to investigate this, please let me know how you should work with it |

Hi CrazyCow, Thanks for the link. In there, they were also talking about the configuration file. I think, if I have some spare time I'll look into it. Hopefully, in the next versions, I hope this is only a checkbox :) |
