Re: Is Rename of a Tag possible.

The ONLY method that I can use to change tag names is to edit objects on the screen 1 by 1. Slow and stupid way to do things. I opened a screen. Used XMAL to replace all R1 tags with R2 tags. Tags on screen did change. However, the cross reference for the R1 tag still shows it being used on the scre...

Re: Is Rename of a Tag possible.

ok.. I rectified this error message Deleted and rebuilt the PB And, for some reason, the R2_Alarm screen had a "blank" action associated with it. Never had one originally but it was there. I have a suspicion that renaming screens arbitrarily adds actions. After making a lot of screen name changes......

Re: Is Rename of a Tag possible.

Mark, I tried doing the XMAL thing. All the R1_ tags are present in the Tag List, as are all the R2_ tags. Opened a simple screen, used search/replace. Finds all the locations. But the compile fails.

Is Rename of a Tag possible.

If I simply change a tag name in a project (compiled OK) as this example:

Current name:
R1_value123

To:
R2_value123

Then the next build fails.

Is this not possible??

Serious Screen Display Issue

Using iX Developer V2.0 SP1 with Qterm A12. This is a "new issue" that I had not seen before installing SP1. Some of my screen navigation buttons seem to have taken on actions of their own. Buttons with Previous Action are going back more than one screen. My "Home Button" sometimes goes to the previ...

Fill color stays the same color and "overlays" the background color. The provided bar chart takes too much room on the screen...
