Insert a Composite Genie

A Composite Genie can be inserted into any graphics page, template or Super Genie. It cannot be inserted into a Genie or symbol.

Note: The appearance of Composite Genies can be affected by different DPI settings. It is recommended that when running Graphics Builder, the Scale and Layout setting should be set to "100%" in the Windows™ Display settings. After changing the Scale and Layout setting for a computer, you should restart it.

To insert a Composite Genie:

1. Open Graphics Builder.

2. Click the Paste Composite Genie button in the Objects toolbox.

   

   The Open dialog box is displayed.

3. Select the XML template for the Composite Genie from the list of templates.

   Note: The template file that you select needs to be in located in the Composite Genies folder in the current project folder (or one of its included projects).

4. Click OK. The Presentation Options dialog box is displayed.

   

5. Type or select the values for the parameters displayed.

   Note: Depending upon the options you choose, some items may be hidden or displayed. For example, on the Meter Composite Genies, when you select the Display Control Output check box, the Display Trend and Trend Type options are displayed.

6. Use the Search box to search for parameters in the dialog box. Type the parameter name or part of the parameter name to locate a parameter.

   Note: Clear the Search box before clicking OK on the Presentation Options dialog box.

7. Use the Show only parameters with invalid input option to display options for which incorrect or no values have been selected or specified.

8. Click OK to insert the Composite Genie, or Cancel to close the Presentation Options dialog box without inserting the Composite Genie.

   Note: You cannot rotate or mirror a Composite Genie that has been inserted on a page.
