Add an Industrial Graphics Library 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 Libraries view in Plant SCADA Studio's Visualization activity to add a new Industrial Graphics library to the active project.

To add a new Industrial Graphics library:

1. Go to the Libraries 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 Library. The New Library dialog will appear.

   

   Note: You can also launch the New Library dialog from the New Symbol dialog (see Add an Industrial Graphics Symbol in Plant SCADA Studio).

4. Choose a name for the library.

   The name you use needs to be unique within the current branch of the tree. It also needs to adhere to a set of rules (see Library Naming Rules below). Based on these rules, you can only enter valid characters.

5. Choose a location for the library. If you select an existing library, the new library will be created as a sub-directory within it.

   Note: You can create up to 10 library levels within the tree. If you select a location that goes beyond this limit, the Create button will be disabled.

6. Click Create.

   The library will now appear in the tree in the Libraries | Industrial Graphics view.

Library Naming Rules

A library name needs to adhere to the following rules:

• Needs to be between 1 to 64 characters in length.

• Any printable character (Alphanumeric, punctuation, space etc, but no tab, backspace, bell etc.)

• Cannot contain $ and \.
