Import and export graphic displays
Each graphic display’s information is contained in a file called Displayname.gfx.
The Graphics Import Export Wizard in FactoryTalk View Studio allows you to export this
information to an XML file, or to import a graphic display XML file.
You can export the display information, import the graphic display XML file to another
FactoryTalk View application, and then modify it to suit your requirements. Or, you can
modify the file before importing it.
You can use the Graphics Import Export Wizard to import graphic display information
that has been created using an external programming tool or editor, or you can import a
FactoryTalk View XML file.
For more information about importing and exporting graphic display files, see
Appendix H.
