iXDeveloper 2.0 - problem with group visibility

Post by Hi-Volt »

Hi. I have opened an iXDeveloper 1.31 project with iXDeveloper 2.0. After the conversion, the group visibility property doesn't work :x . In my project there are many group-icons. The alarm icon for example, is composed by: a rectangle, a text and a warning symbol (.lib) (see the attachment). If I download the project using iXDeveloper 1.31, the icon works fine, while with iXDeveloper 2.0 only the warning symbol is visible! Why?
Thank you.
Best regards

From your picture it looks like you might have converted your project from a large HMI panel to a smaller one. It looks like some of your picture has been cut off.

You also need to make sure you do not have visibility conflicts when grouping components. If one component is visible and another one is not, and they are grouped together, then the system doesn't know what to do and you can get weird behavior.

You can send me your 2.0 project via the forums PM system and I can take a look at it.

No, the text into the rectangle is correctly shown in the panel. iXDeveloper has a text alignment problem. Often the position of the text in my PC screen doesn't match exactly in the panel, then I have to send the project to the panel more times to find the correct position. Maybe iX 2.0 has the same problem, unfortunately :( .
I will send you a sample project. I have placed my alarm icon in the centre of the screen. The "Visibility" button toggles a variable that is connected to the visibility property of the icon. Pushing the button appears only the warning symbol, rectangle and text are not visible. I have put also a rectangle near a text to show the text alignment problem.
Thanks for help.
Best regards!

There is a bug in iX Developer 2.0.356 that is causing your issue. I sent you a PM with iX version 2.0.408. In that version the group visibility issue has been fixed.

Has version 2.0.408 been officially released yet? Every Time I check for Updates I get the same "A newer version of the software could not be found". I have 2.0.356 currently.

No, 2.0.408 is still in beta and has not been released as a stand alone package. It is only a hotfix that we send out to customers that have issues that are addressed by this software version.
