To create a Dynamo
object in a picture:
- In the iFIX WorkSpace, select the custom object or group of objects that you want to convert to a Dynamo.
- In Classic view,
on the Dynamo toolbar, click the Build Dynamo
button.
-Or-
In Ribbon view, on the Tools tab, in the Dynamos group, click Dynamos, and then click Build Dynamo.
-Or-
Right-click the selected objects and choose Dynamo.
- If the custom object properties are not animated or set to specific values, the Build Dynamo Wizard dialog box appears, allowing you to name the Dynamo, and provide descriptions for the Dynamo and object.
- If the object properties are animated, the Build Dynamo with User Prompts dialog box appears. For more information, refer to the Creating a Dynamo with User Prompts section.
- In the Dynamo Name field, enter the name you want use for this Dynamo.
- Optionally, in the Dynamo Description field, enter a description for this Dynamo.
- Optionally, in the Object Description field, enter a description for this object.
- Click OK.
TIP: When you first create a Dynamo in the WorkSpace, it is not a Master Dynamo. If you immediately want to create a Master Dynamo object(s), instead of using the Build Dynamo Wizard, drag-and-drop the object(s) to a Dynamo set. The Add Object to Dynamo Sets dialog box appears for each object. Select the Create a New Master Dynamo option in each dialog box, and click OK. These actions create the Dynamo object(s) and add them to the set as a Master Dynamo(s). Or, you can create the Dynamo object, and then drag-and-drop it into the Dynamo Set to create a new Master Dynamo.
