D 5.25 Reediting allocated static objects

Static objects that have been allocated to a dynamic object are no longer directly available in
the graphic display. This applies to objects that have been configured as foreground or
background objects as well as to objects used in defining the dynamic object states (graphic
symbol or fill levels). These objects which have already been assigned can be modified through
the following procedure:
→ Click on the graphic symbol and select the Display tab
→ Position the cursor in the field containing the name of the object to be modified.
→ Switch to the graphic display using the Display button
The static object can now be modified using the usual functions.
The graphic editor is still in "Define parameters for a graphic symbol" mode. This mode
can be clearly recognized in the menu: the menu item Back and most of the toolbar
buttons are disabled. This mode must be exited using the menu command Edit / Return
to object.
A corresponding procedure can be used to retrospectively modify foreground and background
objects, and polygon figures that have been assigned to a fill level.
An additional step is required in order to retrospectively modify a message type symbol - the
message type symbol must be detached from the graphic symbol. To avoid losing the
parameters of the graphic symbol in this process, a new static object is defined for the duration
of the editing process.
→ Click on the graphic symbol and select the Display tab
→ Position the cursor in the edit field containing the name of the object to be modified
→ Switch to the graphic display using the D
→ Draw any static object
→ Return to graphic symbol parameters via Edit / Return to object
→ Exit parameter definition for graphic symbol with OK.
The message type symbol can now be modified with the usual functions.
After all the changes have been carried out:
→ Click on the graphic symbol and select the Display tab
→ Position the cursor in the edit field containing the name of the newly drawn object
→ Switch to the graphic display using the D
→ Select the modified message type symbol (the newly drawn object will be deselected
at this point)
→ Return to graphic symbol parameters via Edit / Return to object
→ Exit parameter definition for graphic symbol with OK.
The newly drawn object is now once more freely available, and can be deleted.
