2.1.4.1 Displaying Objects

Objects in Process Designer are created in the Navigation Tree. To display objects in the Graphic Viewer, you need to load them in the Graphic Viewer first. The Load function enables you to load data from the Navigation Tree into the corresponding trees, for example Product Tree or Resource Tree, and display it in the Graphic Viewer. The Graphic Viewer and the trees are synchronized with each other. Therefore, selecting an object in the Graphic Viewer simultaneously highlights it in the corresponding tree, if it is loaded, and vice versa. To load an object to the Graphic Viewer:

1. Select the object(s) to load in the Navigation Tree.
2. Load the object(s) using one of the following steps:
   • Select File > Load from the menu bar,
   • Right-click the object and select Load from the context menu,
   • Click the Load button on the toolbar.
3. When you load a new project, the Save dialog is displayed.
4. Click Yes to save the changes, No to not save the changes, or Cancel to exit without performing the requested load.
5. The objects are then loaded in the corresponding tree and can be displayed in the Graphic Viewer.

Toggle Display

Objects are displayed in the trees regardless of whether they are blanked or displayed in the Graphic Viewer. You can blank and display objects in the Graphic Viewer by using the toggle icons next to the object node names in all trees except the Navigation Tree. When you click the toggle icon, it switches between the following icons.

Icon	Description
	A solid blue icon indicates an object that is currently displayed in the Graphic Viewer.
	A half blue icon indicates a compound parent object that has some of the children displayed in the Graphic Viewer.
	An empty blue icon indicates an object that is not currently displayed in the Graphic Viewer.
	A blue X icon indicates that an object does not have any 3D representation and cannot be displayed in the Graphic Viewer.
