Overview: Drawing objects

How they work

You can use drawing objects in two ways:

as static objects on a diagram. In that case, you will select the icon of the relevant drawing object in the Drawing toolbar and draw the object.

as connected objects where the appearance of the drawing object is directly linked to the value or state of the connected IGSS object.

Drawing object properties

Dependent on whether the drawing object is connected to an IGSS object or not, the number of properties will vary. When connected, the property groups with a name starting with Bindings … will contain properties which are directly linked to the value or state of the IGSS object.
