  1. @panic mode @Joe E. These are the arc/wedge properties, none of which I've found would allow for manipulation of only the edges instead of the whole objects (I did manage to use VBA for expansion of the graphic as a whole)  
  2. @panic mode I've decided to go the route of using visual studio and then dotnet to create the moving wedge edges to show range. I'm also inexperienced with visual studio, although it was easier creating the gauge object as opposed to factorytalk. Would the ability to move the arc/wedge edge be implemented in dotnet, and the gauge simply created in visual studio? All of the videos for gauges in visual studio only have a rotating arrow with a stagnant scale to show what range the data is in (green, yellow, red) and not an updating range, so I wasn't sure. 
  3. @Joe E. , very similar concept to what i'm attempting to accomplish, mine would ideally be a semicircle. 
  4. @panic mode: yes, i'm using factorytalk view studio SE. The edges of the wedge (picture a speedometer/semicircle) would change according to the tag's analog value to show a range as the values changed (using wedge instead of lines so that there is color inside). I'm assuming that I will be needing to create a script but none of the properties that show up when using vba code seem to allow manipulation of the borders themselves (all properties would apply to the whole wedge). I figured i could use four semicircle wedges overlayed one another with rotation manipulation to make it seem like a speedometer (some wedges would be used to hide the others by making them the same color as the background) but was wondering if there was a way to do it with a single object using a vba script. Apologies if something isn't clear, i'm very inexperienced and beginning stages of learning. 
  5. Hello, has anyone had success in creating a wedge with borders that change due to its assigned tags? Attempting to create a range on a gauge using wedge, but am unsure how to approach this considering it wouldn't be rotating the wedge around a point but rather changing the size of the wedge.
