Creating a Rotator Control

Scenario

You want to draw a rotator command control to command and view, for example, the Present Value of an Analog Output data point, using a rotator command control on your graphic.

There are two methods of doing this:

  • You can gather object type information for a data point and then draw and configure a customized command symbol or graphical element, such as a button, that allows you to send commands from within a graphic.
  • You can drag an existing default command symbol from a project library to a graphic. To add a default command symbol from a project library, proceed directly to Designating and Adding a Default Command Symbol to a Graphic.
