Object Explorer
The object explorer provides a tree-list of all objects in the selected display. You
can select and highlight objects in this list.
Groups are listed as expandable items, with the + icon. To view the objects in a
group, click the + icon or double-click the group name. The list expands to
show the objects and groups within a group.
You can use the highlight settings to highlight specified objects on both the
graphic display and object explorer. You can select objects by object type, by
animation type, or by tag name.
For a display with many objects, object explorer provides an efficient way of
locating and selecting graphic objects. If you want to edit specific objects,
object explorer can highlight these objects for you. By using the property panel,
you can do one the following:
• Perform multiple edits instantly
Before Edits
After Edits
TIP
You can apply this editing technique to cursor llst objects, depending on the
number of objects. This action saves you time when updating your objects
in FactoryTalk View ME software to match the original PanelBuilder32
object.
