You can use InTouch SmartSymbols in Industrial graphics by importing (migrating) them. The SmartSymbol appearance and configuration is imported and converted to animation configuration.
The imported SmartSymbol can:
-
Be added to the existing elements on the canvas.
-
Replace the existing elements on the canvas.
Generally, you can import any InTouch SmartSymbol into an Industrial Graphic.
Note: The SmartSymbol can contain objects that cannot be imported, or can be imported but have limited functionality. For a full list of these objects, see Restrictions for SmartSymbol import.
