Generating files
After a graphic or symbol has been saved, it is necessary to then generate the file.
Generating a symbol makes it available for placement in a graphic, and
generating a graphic makes it available to the Operate program.
Note! Any time changes are made
to a graphic or symbol, it has to be
regenerated.
Generating multiple files
Draw provides an automated method for generating run files.
Step-by-Step
• Select Generate Run Files from the File menu item
• The system displays a message box advising you that it is verifying the point
dynamics of your graphic. This means that the FuelsManager system is
checking all dynamic data records to verify the validity of all point names
and variables used in your graphic
• If there is not already an entry in the Graphic Index (in the Master menu
item) for your graphic, a dialog box appears asking if you want to create one
• Click Yes
• The Edit Graphic Index dialog box appears
• Type in a description of the graphic in the Description text box. If you click
on the Preload on Start option box, Operate loads the graphic into memory
on startup rather than accessing it from disk when the display is requested,
this can improve performance when switching between graphics on slower
systems
• Click OK to display the Select Graphic Index Entry dialog box. The graphic
that has been generated as a run file is now listed in the Master Index. Now
the graphic will be available to the Operate program
Step-by-Step
• Select Batch Run Files from the File menu item. Select either graphics or
symbols. The Batch Compile dialog box appears for either graphics or
symbols. The Altered Files list box displays all files that have been modified
since the last compilation.
• Select the files for generation. To select all the files in the list box, click
Select All. Clicking Unselect All deselects the files.
• Follow one of the below procedures.
