icon. You can browse for .sld or .png images.

rent drawing to use as the image file name. For

file name edit box displays “HPB11.”
■
Active: (This is unavailable if the drawing is a new
drawing and has not been saved) Selects the
active drawing name to use as the Image file.

“demo005,” then the image file edit box has
“demo005” listed as the file name.
The browsed image is copied to the Images folder
and saved as a relative path in the .dat file. However,
you can enclose the image path in quotation marks
if you do not want the image copied to the Images
folder and to save the complete path instead of the
relative path in the .dat file. The entered image file
name can be names like "PB1" or "CONTROL RELAY,"
file names with an extension such as “pb1.png,” or
it can follow the syntax {slide_library or dll file (slide
or .png)}. For example, "S2(pb)" or "S7(control_re-
lay)."
