used.
● For block icons of the PCS 7 library:
"@Template.pdl" or "@@PCS7Typicals.pdl"
● For APL block icons
– Template pictures of PCS 7 V8.2:
Only the block icons of the selected template picture are updated.
Requirements

- "@PCS7TypicalsAPLV8.pdl"
- "@TemplateAPLV8.pdl"
Note
Using a template picture for APL block icons of PCS 7 prior to V8.0
The APL template pictures of PCS 7 as of V7.1.4 can continue to be used in PCS 7 for
updating picture objects:
● "@PCS7TypicalsAPLV7.pdl"
● "@TemplateAPLV7.pdl"
By using these template pictures as of PCS 7 V8.0 , the display of the block icons
remains unchanged.
Please note that executing the project editor copies the files
"@PCS7TypicalsAPLV8.pdl"/"@TemplateAPLV8.pdl" into the project.
● Delete the "@PCS7TypicalsAPLV8.pdl"/"@TemplateAPLV8.pdl" files. In this way,
these template pictures ("@PCS7TypicalsAPLV7.pdl" / "@TemplateAPLV7.pdl") are
used when executing the function "Create/update block icons" and in compilation
processes.
● It is imperative that you always use the same versions of the
@TemplateAPL<Version>.pdl" and "@PCS7TypicalsAPL<Version>.pdl" files.
Overwriting default settings
User scripts and modified properties of the picture objects are overwritten by the default
settings.
