Pinning Multiple Face plates of same type on the same screen

Dear all,

I have a project having multiple effects (CEM Blocks) and their causes (VTR blocks) on the same screen.I want to pin multiple VTR  or CEM faceplates at the same time but i can only pin one CEM and one VTR. Is there a way to pin multiple face plates of the same type on a single screen example multiple AI or DI screens?

Regards

Muhammad Asim Butt

  You need to run the pop up picture replication script in  operate configure. It is a tool bar button that looks like a white faceplate icon. It will create indexed copies of each fp/dt to allow multiple copies opened simultaneously. Search this forum; I recall someone did a pretty good write up about it.

  In reply to Youssef.El-Bahtimy:

  In addition to the tool bar button Youssef mentioned, you'll also need to find the following line in your user_settings.grf or WorkstationName_Settings.grf file and uncomment it (It's somewhere around line 567):

  'frsVariables.GN_IA_LOCKENABLED.currentvalue  = 1

  Good Luck!

  P.S. Don't do that for "Operator Keyboard Systems." Also, you'll also need to make that change on every workstation if you arent using the user_settings.grf

  One of our engineers recently had to figure this out again so if anyone has the same need in the future....
  
  We are using PCSD vintage 2014, and we set our faceplates to default as follows:
  
  Add the following to the bottom of sub CFixPicture_Initalize
  
  On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
  frszIAUnPinned Me
  Exit Sub
  ErrorHandler:
  frsHandleError
