Create RecipePlus objects
You can create one RecipePlus table and RecipePlus selector per graphic display. You can
create multiple RecipePlus buttons in a display, with a different action assigned to each.
The objects and button actions to use depend on how you want to use your recipe system.
For example, if you just want to write data set values to tags, all you need is a RecipePlus
selector and a RecipePlus button with the download action. For information about how the
different objects in the recipe system work, see page 29-2.
To create a recipe object
1. In the Graphics editor, create or open a graphic display.
2. Select a RecipePlus drawing tool by doing one of the following:
 In the Objects toolbox, click the RecipePlus Button, RecipePlus Selector, or
RecipePlus Table tool.
 On the Objects menu, select RecipePlus, and then click RecipePlus Button,
RecipePlus Selector, or RecipePlus Table.
3. Drag the mouse to create a box approximately the size you want for the object.
4. Double-click the object to open its Properties dialog box.
5. Set up the object. For details, see Help.
Once you have set up a RecipePlus object, you can edit it as you would any other graphic
object. You can move it, resize it, attach animation to it, and so on. You can also use the
object in other graphic displays by dragging it from one display and dropping it into
another.
For more information about graphic objects, see Chapter 20.
Test RecipePlus objects
You can quickly test the recipe objects in a display by switching to test mode. If
communications are active and there is data for the tags, you can download and upload
recipe tag values. When you are finished testing, switch back to edit mode to continue
editing.
To switch between test and edit modes
 On the View menu, click Test Display or Edit Display, or click the Test Display and
Edit Display tools.
Test mode is not the same as running the display. Test mode does not change the
appearance or position of the display as set up in the Display Settings dialog box.
