9.7.9 Step 3 - Adding explanatory text
Prerequisites
● The "RMT1.pdl" process picture is open in the Graphics Designer.
● The block icon for "PARA_DOS_RM1_SEL" is available.
Procedure
The plant operator needs to be able to understand the setting for selecting the respective
reactor. You use a text field in order to provide this explanation. You have already used text
fields when labeling the plant.
1. Insert a text field – use the "Standard Objects/Static Text" object to do this.
2. Enter the following text: "Select reactor: white = Reactor 1, green = Reactor 2".
Press <Shift + Return> to create a line break.
3. Format the text fields using the style palette:
– Frame invisible - "Line weight/Invisible" setting
– Fill transparent - "Fill Pattern/Transparent" setting
4. Select the "Properties" tab.
5. Select "Effect".
6. Double-click the "Global color scheme" attribute in the right-hand area of the window.
"No" is now entered in the "Static" column.
7. Close the "Object Properties" window.
8. Drag a frame around the explanatory text. Use the "Standard Objects/Rectangle" object for
this purpose.
9. Format the text fields using the style palette:
– Thickness of the frame – "Line Weight/3 Pixel" setting
– Fill transparent - "Fill Pattern/Transparent" setting
10.Position the objects as shown in the figure below:
11.Drag a frame around all the objects using the mouse.
12.Select Edit > Group > Group.
This groups all the objects into one single object and makes it easier to move them.
13.Position the objects between the reactors.
