Overridden text string import and export

The ArchestrA programmatic API supports overridden text strings in graphics. Typically, a string substitution is performed on a text string from the Industrial Graphic Editor before exporting the graphic with the programmatic API. The exported XML file shows the content of overridden and substituted text strings as elements and attributes of the SubstitutedStrings element.

When a graphic is imported using the programmatic API, the graphic shows the text string assigned to the New attribute of the XML file’s String element. Users can substitute text strings before importing a graphic by editing the contents of the String element in the exported XML file.
