For details about options in the Add HMI Server Wizard, click Help.
Step 2: Create a graphic display
Adding an HMI server to an application also creates the HMI project, which contains all
of the editors and productivity tools you need to create and modify application
components.
For a list of editors and their functions, see “Opening component editors” on page 2-10.
For instructions about using the editors, click Help in the editor dialog boxes.
For this example, use the Graphics editor to create a graphic display, and then add a
graphic object to that display.
To create a new display
 In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, open the Graphics folder, right-
click the Displays icon, and then click New.
An untitled display opens in the workspace to the right of the Explorer window.
To add a graphic object to the display
1. In the Graphics editor, on the Objects menu, click Drawing, and then click Rectangle.
You can also click the button on the Objects toolbar that represents the object you
want to add.
For information about using the Graphics editor, see Chapter 16, Creating graphic
displays and Chapter 17, Creating graphic objects.
2. Position the pointer where you want to draw the rectangle, click and hold the left
mouse button, and then drag the mouse down and to the right.
3. Release the mouse button to place the rectangle on the display.
To save the new display
1. On the File menu, click Close.
2. Click Yes to save changes and close the display.
3. In the Save dialog box, type a name for the display, and then click OK.
If it’s set to display when you create a new HMI server, the Add Controller Instruction Faceplates
dialog box opens. If you don’t want to add faceplates, click Cancel to close the dialog box,
without affecting HMI server creation. For more information about adding faceplates, see
page 16-30.
