Tim,

I disabled all of the monitors except for the primary and unfortunately there 
has been no change, the 'Configure Objects' box still does not populate.  
Something else we did notice is that under Options / Configure Servers we get a 
popup that states "Unable to Invoke Configure Servers Tool", however this 
function just fine on the station next to it.

The plot thickens!!  Thanks,

Tim,

Thank you for your reply.  I am working with Rick and we just verified that all 
of the monitors are setup correctly and appear in the setup exactly as they are 
physically configured.  I am going to try disabling all of the other monitors 
except the primary to see if this resolves the issue and report back shortly.

Thanks again,

Rick,

I'm guessing the Configure Objects dialog box is on one of the other heads. Are 
all the heads set up correctly on Windows Control Panel / Display / Screen 
Resolution? You should see a diagram that exactly matches the physical 
configuration of the monitors, and they should all be extending and not 
duplicating. I remember this happening to me where I didn't have the displays 
set up in Control Panel correctly and I couldn't locate a dialog box. BTW, you 
can access other objects with the Configure Objects dialog box open. I just 
tried it. It simply shifts the configuration to whatever new object you select. 
I never knew that before. Nice time-saving tip!

Subject: [foxboro] Configure objects in FoxDraw

Almighty list,

Has anyone run into the situation where everything in FoxDraw seems to work  
except 'configure objects'?  I don't think the overlay is even opening, because 
besides not being able to find it after moving or closing every other screen 
and not finding it, I can still access other objects (which you can't do if 
that overlay is open).  So I don't think it is even trying to open the overlay. 
 Edit text works, graphic attributes works, etc, and the station right next 
door works.  The next door station FoxDraw folder was copied into the one that 
doesn't work, and it still doesn't work.  All  files are identically named, 
same dates and sizes, etc.  Running a 4-headed  on both.
 The station that doesn't work was working recently.  All we  did was 
physically relocate both stations and reconfigure (fv_cmds) to  automatically 
spawn FoxView to the 4 heads on reboot (which was how it was set  up and 
running on before).

Any ideas?

Philip,

Thanks for the script. Will take me a while to check  though, with 82 lists. 
But the ones I checked so far are scanning.
How do I  interpret the delta change? It looks like an hex value, but once 
transferred  it seems like a strange delta value.

Thanks &  Rgds,
Dirk

Dirk,

#2. I'd first verify that all 15  PID's referenced do exist on the workstations 
being referenced (some may be  other CP's).  Then, if you'd like to check for 
errors in any of the  lists, I use a script to dump out all of the om objects 
in a list.  It  only does one list at time.  I have two files for
it:
a. Enter the following bunch of lines in a text file and change  the second 
line (opvr 001) to include the 3-digit list number, which ensures  you get the 
max list entries:
opdb

b. Enter the  following line in another .ksh file, where opvr_SOM_IN_001.txt is 
the filename  from "a" above and opvr_SOM_OUT_001.txt is any output file  name:
/opt/fox/bin/tools/som -i opvr_SOM_IN_001.txt -t opvr_SOM_OUT_001.txt
>/dev/null

The output should have all points with a status of  SCANNING.  Something else 
(NOT CONNECTED, I think) would indicate an  error.  There's also a delta field 
included for each point in the  list.  Hope that helps.

Thanks,
