About Creating SmartSymbol Templates and Instances

Using WindowMaker, you can create SmartSymbol templates and instances.

You create SmartSymbol templates by drawing one or more graphics in WindowMaker, combining them into a cell, and then converting the cell into a SmartSymbol. You do not have to connect or link templates to InTouch tags or application server objects.

After you create a SmartSymbol template, you can create an instance of the SmartSymbol in an application window.

You can also create application server object instances from an existing Industrial Graphics SmartSymbol instance to avoid switching between InTouch WindowMaker and the System Platform IDE.
