Avoiding names that conflict with commands or macros
To avoid problems when issuing commands and macros, do not give macros the same
names as commands. For example, instead of giving a macro the name Display, to avoid
confusion with the Display command, name the macro DisplayScreen instead.
Deleting, removing, and renaming components
In FactoryTalk View Studio, when you:
 Delete a component, the component and the corresponding physical file are deleted.
 Remove a component, the component is removed from the Explorer window, but the
physical file is not deleted.
 Rename a component, the component and the physical file are both renamed.
To delete a component and file
 In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the component you
want to delete, and then select Delete.
To remove a component
 In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the component you
want to remove, and then select Remove.
To rename a component
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the component you
want to rename, and then select Rename.
2. Type the new name, and then click OK.
Restoring a component after renaming the physical file
If you rename a physical file in Windows Explorer, you will no longer be able to open the
corresponding component in FactoryTalk View Studio. You must remove the component,
and then add the renamed file back into the application.
To restore a component after changing the physical file name
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the component, and
then select Remove.
2. Right-click the icon of the editor used to create the component you want to restore,
and then select Add Component into Application.
For example, to restore a graphic display, right-click the Displays icon.
3. Find and select the renamed physical file, and then click Open.
