Edit graphic displays

A graphic display consists of drawing objects such as ellipses and rectangles; interactive objects such as push buttons, numeric displays, and control list selectors; ActiveX objects provided by other applications; and display settings.

To edit an existing graphic display

  1. Open the Graphics folder in the Explorer window.
  2. Open the Displays list.
  3. Double-click the name of the graphic file to edit.
  4. Use the tools and menu options available in the Graphics Display editor to modify the graphic display.
  5. Save the graphic display. If you are editing a graphic template as the basis for a new graphic display, choose Save As to give the graphic display a new name.

    Tip:

    • To see the menu options available for any object in the graphic display, click the right mouse button when the cursor arrow is pointing at the object in question. This displays a context menu. To select a command from the menu, click it or highlight it then press Enter.
    • To see display settings, click the right mouse button on a blank area of the display and select Display Settings from the Context menu.
    • To open the editor’s toolboxes, toolbars, and palettes, select them from the View > Toolbars menu.
