CREATING SCAREF FOR ALARMS

METHOD FOR SETTING SCAREFS  For  offline instruments and setting up in diagramspresentation.xml for removing read only properties i need this on an urgent basis

  • Hi

    You need to define an Area shape, which should be a 2D symbol and add it on required instruments (or other elements).

    Refer to Project>Options>Diagram Options>Attribute Presentation>Area shape and unselect "Read Only" for Attributes/UDAs you want.

    Regards

  • it is appearing as read only so a uda needs to be designated for scaref created ; i tried changing  in diagramssetup.xml including the atrributes still the error persists read only did not go i wa strying for HH H L LL YET  it was not letting me remove read only from scaref

  • We are looking into the issue and  i can share the code as wel <Atttribute attrID="VMD_SCOINS_SCAREF.TYPE" lablel="HH" prompt="" visible="true" readOnly="false" order="037"visibleInItemList="true" />
    <Atttribute attrID="VMD_SCOINS_SCAREF.NAME" lablel="H" prompt="" visible="true" readOnly="false" order="038"visibleInItemList="true" />
    <Atttribute attrID="VMD_SCAREF.DIAREF.NAME" lablel="L" prompt="" visible="true" readOnly="false" order="039"visibleInItemList="true" />
    <Atttribute attrID="VMD_SCAREF.DIAREF.DESC" lablel="LL" prompt="" visible="true" readOnly="false" order="040"visibleInItemList="true" />

    i have included this in diagram setup xml file yet that read only is not going and nor ALARAM SETTINGS are coming for scoins

  • ALI can you enlighten us about this it will be very beneficial

  • Hi Anindya;

    I can think about below points:

    1- Make sure AVEVA Diagrams reading .xml file from a correct address, you can see the loaded file message when AVEVA Diagram opens, in Messages, User Tab.

    2-Change Read Only checkbox within "Edit Master Shape Wizard" too and save.

    3-What is your AVEVA Diagrams version? You may need to install a new fix.

    Regards
