iFIX Copy Object Animation

[aiki202]

Is there a way copy an object's animation settings to another object? This is a very simple task in InTouch but I cannot find a way to perform this task in iFIX. Is this possible?

Bump...

No, you can copy the object and change the datapoints, but your can't copy just the animation settings.

Disappointing...but thanks for the confirmation.

Just Curious, how do you copy them in InTouch?

You can right click on an object that has an animation assigned to it and there is a "Copy Animation" selection. Then you can "Paste Animation" to another object and it will carry over everything.

Well now... that WOULD be a great thing to have available. Thanks.

Yep...saves a ton of time.

While on the subject InTouch also offers a copy/paste function of the objects themselves where once you paste the first object you position it to the offset you want from the original object...then when you paste again the next object is perfectly spaced in both the X and Y direction without needing to align (vertically and horizontally) every object you paste. Just press Ctrl + V for each additional object and...well you're done.
