Add an Industrial Graphics Page in Plant SCADA Studio

Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.

You can use the Pages view in Plant SCADA Studio's Visualization activity to add new Industrial Graphics pages to the active project.

To add a new Industrial Graphics page:

1. Go to the Pages view in the Visualization activity.

2. Select Industrial Graphics from the drop-down menu below the command bar.

   

3. On the command bar, select New. The New Page dialog will appear.

   

4. Choose a name for the page.

   The name you use needs to be unique amongst all Industrial Graphics pages and symbols in the active project and its included projects. It also needs to adhere to a set of rules (see the Page Naming Rules below). Based on these rules, you can only enter valid characters.

   If the background of the field is highlighted, it indicates that the current name does not comply with the naming rules. Place the cursor over the field to display a tool tip with a description of the required changes.

   

5. Choose a project for the page from the drop-down menu. The list will include the active project, it's include projects, and their respective system projects.

   • The selected project from the project tree is the default selection.

   • If you have not selected any project, the active project is the default selection.

   • It is not recommended to select a system project, because system projects are overwritten when Plant SCADA is upgraded or reinstalled.

6. Choose an optimum size for the page from the drop-down menu, or type the width and height of the desired size in the field.

   • The resolution of the selected project is used as the default selection for the page size.

   • For customizing the page size, the following rules apply:

     • Min Width, Height = 0, 0

     • Max Width, Height = 7360, 4320

   • The last selected / entered size will be retained as the default selection for subsequent new pages.

7. Click CREATE.

   The page thumbnail will appear in the Pages view, and the page will open for editing in the Industrial Graphics Editor.

   If you do not want to create the page, click CANCEL.
