Hello everybody, I’ m new here in the forum and I’m happy to have become part of this team! I have a question regarding pac display. Does anyone know if I can show motion of several objects in my project? For example, I ‘d like to show objects, lets say bottles, on an industrial line moving as the line is operating. I’ d like to create something like the project shown on this video: OptoMinute: PAC Display HMI Software - YouTube at 0:19 where we can see the bottles moving.
Hi, Gio 13:
you can show motion of objects throw the Visibility/Blink method in Graphic Dynamic Attributes, you can download the PAC Project Demo application, in the demo, there is a beer factory example for your reference
Thanks leeveney for your answer. I know the Visibility/Blink method, I just wanted to know if i could make graphics more “lively” by making them move during the process. I 'll check the demo you mentioned!

with the new version of pac display (i think since pac pro 9?), you can use gif images in your project (View->paste from file->import gif). if you can make an animated gif (irfan view should do it) and use the visibiliyy/blink attribute, this should make your graphics come alive!
i hope this helps

I’ve tried using animated gifs in PAC Display Pro with mixed results–sometimes it crashes (I’ve submitted a bug report on that one). However, one nifty thing you’ll find in 9.0 and newer: there’s this “rotate” option, for example, if you want to spin a fan or something. No strategy modifications or blink stuff required!
