Posted 18 Oct 2023 (edited) Hi All, Does anyone know how to draw a simple "Figure" such as a rectangle and put it on top of an existing "Object" in GT Designer 3 (GT2000)? This sounds easy and I can do this in any number of other HMI software packages but Mitsubishi GT Designer3 doesn't behave like other HMI packages and it doesn't work by just grabbing a rectangle, having it occupy the same 2D space as the existing object and clicking "Send to Front", or "Send to Back" etc. For example, below is a screenshot of a Bit Lamp and a rectangle. I sent the Bit Lamp to the "Back of the Back Layer" which to me means it should be hiding behind the rectangle. I also sent the rectangle to the "Front Layer" and the "Front". Either of which should cover the Bit Lamp. Doesn't work.....Very frustrating.... Does anyone know how to make this work? Thanks Edited 18 Oct 2023 by Olly_J Unnecessary image2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 Oct 2023 Thanks but no change. Still no "Stacking Order" functions work regardless of Graphic version. However, I did finally get it to work. I had to turn on the Lamp Feature/"Use lamp attribute" check box on the rectangle and put SM400 to make it always ON: Then the rectangle started to behave in accordance with the Stacking options...I don't understand why this is but it will have to do for now.

Posted 30 Oct 2023 OOOOOO your rectangle was just a shape and not a lamp so it was drawing it behind your lamp to try and be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 30 Oct 2023 Yeah, silly me...I though the person designing the screen got to decide which object goes where, especially when seemingly offered the option to do so...But I guess any software package is annoying when you don't know how to deal with its quirks. I am getting there, it seems I have this one figured out. On to the next one... 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
