Re: [foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

Kevin

The last time that I had to go through that I made a script to "pref"
displays up on PC's running remote Xwindows on the WP/AW.
To speed up the process I made the script pref the base displays on one DM,
the controller fp's on another, the motor fp's on another, and trends on
another.
...I will have to use the pdfpack -r command next time.

Lieven,

Thanks for that.  Unfortunately, at 5-10 seconds per graphic I'm still
faced
with 6-12 hours to optimize the displays on a workstation...  At this plant
area, I normally do upgrades and other work during day shuts, however, the
operators and maintenance still need access to the graphics during shuts.

I'm afraid I still need to find a more efficient solution before we can
justify
converting the site's ~150 Display Managers to FoxView.

At the moment I'm pursuing a dedit solution.  It's my understanding that
dedit
clears the optimization from a graphic whenever an edit is made.  I'm going
to
try a few dedit sequences like dump/upload or e/enable and see if they
clear the
optimization, as these take a fraction of a second per graphic.  As long as
I
can efficiently clear the optimization, the extra second or so it takes to
re-optimize a graphic on first call-up I can live with.
