3.2 Creating a New Graphics Plate
Now that you have an overview of graphics plate design its time to delve into the details of constructing a graphics
plate. Let’s return to the graphics plate control block screen:
Fig. 3.4 Begin a New Graphics Plate at the Graphics Plate Control Block Screen
Here are the steps to create a new graphics plate:
1 Begin by entering a description for the graphics plate. Up to three lines can be used. “Standard Operator
Controls” was entered in the example above in Figure 3.4.
2 Turn on the Control Security Lock control so that the controls you create on the graphics plate will not affect
the actual IQ System until you are ready for them to. You can turn this control back off when you have
finished creating the graphics plate. (Or you can ignore this control if the computer is not connected to an
active IQ System.
3 Make sure that the Graphics Security Lock control is turned off or else we will not be able to add any
objects or make changes to the graphics plate. You will probably want to turn on this control after the
graphics plate has been designed to prevent your operators from accidentally changing it.
4 Switch the Display control to the Memory setting so that standard GDMs will not be automatically created
when we go to the graphics plate. (See Section 4.1 if you want to use the standard GDMs.)
