Procedure
1. Select the "Graphics Designer" entry in the navigation window.
The detail view shows all the pictures belonging to the project. The pictures displayed also
include the default pictures and template pictures provided by PCS 7 SMART.
Default pictures and template pictures are designated with the "@" character before the
name.
2. Double-click the "RMT1.pdl" picture in the detail view.
The process picture opens in Graphics Designer. The view shows that this process picture
already contains objects although you have not yet inserted any. These are the block icons
that you created in the process picture with the "Create block icons" function in SIMATIC
Manager. You can also see that the block icon for the valve has been inserted both in the
horizontal alignment and vertical alignment variants. These two variants are influenced by
the setting in the process object view in the "Picture Objects" tab that you made when
assigning parameters for the CFCs.
Note
In the example, the automatically inserted block icons (for example, for the "CTRL_PID"
controller) were moved.
