You can quickly create a new instance of the AutomationObject that hosts an embedded Industrial Graphic. This way, you do not need to switch to the System Platform IDE and derive an instance.
The new instance is unassigned, so you need to assign and deploy it in the System Platform IDE before you can use it.
You can only create new Automation instances for Industrial Graphics hosted by templates or instances. Industrial Graphics in the Graphic Toolbox do not have this functionality.
Create a new Automation instance
-
Right-click the embedded Industrial Graphic, point to Industrial Graphic, and then select New Instance. The Create Instance box dialog box appears.
-
In the Instance Name box, type a name for the instance.
-
Select OK. An instance is automatically derived from the template with the name you specify.
