2. In the New tab, in the Application name box, type a name for your application, up to
32 characters long.
3. If desired, type a description of the application. If you don’t type a description now,
you can add one later, as described on page 4-18.
4. Specify a language for the application. For information about using different
languages, see Chapter 12.
5. Click Create.
FactoryTalk View Studio creates the application’s folders and files, and then shows
the new application in the Explorer window.
The application is created in the ME\HMI projects directory, in a folder with the same
name as the application name.
This is the path to the ME\HMI projects directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\RSView
Enterprise\ME\HMI projects
(Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 R2)
or
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\HMI projects
(Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server
2008, and Windows Vista)
To create a new application when FactoryTalk View Studio is
already open
1. From the File menu, select New Application, or click the New Application tool.
If an application is already open, FactoryTalk View Studio asks you whether to close
the application that is currently open. Click Yes.
2. Follow steps 2 through 5 in the previous procedure.
Import applications
You can import PanelBuilder, PanelBuilder32, PanelBuilder 1400e, and FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition applications into FactoryTalk View Studio.
Once you create the application the system automatically creates a display called “MAIN” and
sets the Projects Settings, startup Graphic to “Main”.. These settings determine the general
appearance of your run-time application, and affect how your graphic displays look. For more
information, see page 4-17.
