Properties Tab - GraphWorX64

The following settings appear within the Properties Tab for a selected GraphWorX32 file within the Project tree explorer in the left side of the GENESIS64 ConverterWorX Utility:

General

Destination - Use the text entry form to enter a destination for the converted 64-bit-integrated files or click on the ellipsis button [...] to open the Select Folder window, which allows you to navigate to your preferred location. A default destination may already appear when you first select your exported 32-bit project folder.

GraphWorX64 Translation - General

Translate relative paths as relative to Output Directory - Click this checkbox if you wish to retain any relative paths from your 32-bit project and then have the converted 64-bit project's relative paths be relative to the output directory you selected in the Destination field.

Save as GraphWorX64 Display for UWP (*.gdfxp) - Creates Display for UWP (*gdfxp) instead of regular GraphWorX64 (*gdfx).

Translate OPC DA tagnames to OPC UA tagnames - Click this checkbox to change existing OPC Data Access (OPC DA) tag names from the source 32-bit project to OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) tag names for the resulting converted 64-bit project.

Permanently resolve local aliases - When the option is set to TRUE, then the local aliases are resolved permanently.

Ensure unique local alias names - When the option is set to TRUE, then the translator will ensure that the local aliases will be unique.

Translate OPC syntax in local aliases values - When the option is enabled then the translator translates local aliases. Otherwise, the local aliases are not translated.

Drop custom command pick actions - Some custom commands set through Pick Actions in the source 32-bit project may not translate correctly to the converted 64-bit project. Click this checkbox to prevent the inclusion of these custom commands in your converted 64-bit project.

Shrink the text to fit parent object dimension(text rescale) - Option to enable/disable shrinking of the text to fit parent object dimensions. If enabled, then it behaves the same as previously (within the original 32-bit projects). If the user disables this feature, then the text will not be shrunk.

Copy object name into the title - Click this checkbox to include the name of your object name into the title.

Translate object name to valid Gwx64 name - When this option is enabled, any possibly invalid object names are translated to valid GraphWorX64 names. Invalid characters are replaced by the “_” character.

Objects in GraphWorX64 are Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)-integrated objects. The Name property is restricted to what WPF allows for names. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.name.aspx, which states “The string values used for Name have some restrictions, as imposed by the underlying x:Name Directive defined by the XAML specification. Most notably, a Name must start with a letter or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, digits, or underscores.” If you think your object names might be invalid, this option replaces the unsupported characters with an underscore (_) within the names to make them valid.

Use GraphWorX32 drop-down list style - When FALSE, the statefield drop-down UI will use colors that match the label associated with the process point dynamic. (This is the default GraphWorX64 behavior). When TRUE, the statefield drop-down UI will use the current ‘System Colors’. (This is the default GraphWorX32 behavior).

Disable legacy translate of global aliases - When FALSE, the data sources containing a global alias are not wrapped by @ at the beginning and by .Value at the end.

Disable legacy translate of local aliases - When FALSE, the data sources containing a local alias are not wrapped by @ at the beginning and by .Value at the end.

Hide dynamics that have bad quality data source - When TRUE, hide dynamics that have a bad quality data source will be set to the “active” state (i.e. hidden). When FALSE, hide dynamics that have a bad quality data source will be drawn with the “PointFailColors”. (Tthis is the default behavior, but you may want to change it for some displays).

Disable using classic border from Gen32 - Classic borders are not supported in AnyGlass clients. This option removes classic borders from GraphWorX32 displays when converting them to GraphWorX64.

Change String format representation -Check this box if your GraphWorX32 displays have process points containing decimal numbers with a Client Display Type of String. Checking this box will convert String process points to type "Native" in GraphWorX64 using the number of decimal places below.

Change String decimal places -Specifies the number of decimal places to use for strings converted to numbers using the "Change String format representation" option.

Config mode rotations disabled for - Use the pulldown menu to select from None(default), Rectangles or All. These options are designed to be used for rare edge cases.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Activex Controls

Convert ActiveX Controls to: - Use the pulldown menu to convert existing ActiveX Controls within your source 32-bit project to either .NET Controls (compatible with the converted 64-bit project) or as placeholder boxes to signify where the non-converted ActiveX control would have appeared.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Metafiles

Convert Metafiles to: - Use the pulldown menu to convert existing Metafiles within your source 32-bit project to either Native Objects or Raster Images in the converted 64-bit project.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Images

Convert Images to Format: - Use the pulldown menu to convert existing images within your source 32-bit project to either the PNG, JPEG, GIF or BMP format within the converted 64-bit project.

Convert Images to: - Use the pulldown menu to convert existing images within your source 32-bit project to either Embedded Image Data or Referenced Image Files within the converted 64-bit project.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Rendering Optimization

Antialiasing (Smooth Edge) - Click this checkbox in order to anti-alias (smooth the edges) of the images within your source 32-bit project for inclusion within the converted 64-bit project.

Image Scaling - Optimize Speed - Click this checkbox in order to employ image scaling (optimizing the speed of displaying the images within your display[s]) within your source 32-bit project for inclusion within the converted 64-bit project.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Shadow Optimization

Translucent Shadows -Click this checkbox in order to turn existing shadows within source 32-bit displays translucent within converted 64-bit projects.

Optimize - Use the pulldown menu to select to optimize the shadows within source 32-bit displays for either Speed or Quality within converted 64-bit projects.

Soft Edges (Optimize Quality) - Click this checkbox to employ soft edges (optimize the quality) for shadows within source 32-bit displays for inclusion within the converted 64-bit project.

GraphWorX64 Translation - 3D Edge Optimization

Optimize -Use the pulldown menu to select how to optimize 3D Edges within your source 32-bit project for inclusion within the converted 64-bit project. Options include 'Optimize Speed', 'Optimize Speed for Rectangular Object Only', and 'Optimize Quality'.

GraphWorX64 Translation - Transparent Color Optimization

Search for Transparent Color in the Image - Used when translating a GraphWorX32 display with an embedded image that is set to have the Transparent Color property. Uses a method that finds the nearest color of the original transparent color in the image and uses this color for the transparent color in the GraphWorX64 display. Note that this may result in a longer conversion time, depending to the number of images (and their individual file sizes) used in the display.

Search for Transparent Color Precision (in px) -Related to the Boolean option above. Specifies search precision when searching for the transparent color in the image. Default value of SearchForTrasparentColorPrecision option -> 1 (1 pixel). Range from 1 to 1000.
