Re: [foxboro] Why are you staying with the DM? (was: 'Group' Visibili ty with DM)

I haven't migrated because I have always found show-stopping bugs in the 
previous versions I've tried (mainly that I was able to lock up the GUI on 
the station getting into and out of Foxdraw).  There's also the issue with 
setting the clock back in the fall.  And hardware limitations were an 
issue at one time, but we've upgraded WPs since then.

However, the more I find bugs in DM (one of which was fixed in 4.3 and 
then _reintroduced_ in 6.1?!), the more I conclude that Foxview is the 
lesser evil -- at least Foxboro is admitting to working on Foxview.


I plan to try Foxview 9 shortly.  Hopefully it will work better than the 
older ones.

All,

John Smith's question raises another one. Why do our users stay with the 
DM?

We are interested in what would help people move off of the DM and to FV 
and
I want to "hear" the reasons from a few users.

So, drop me a line on or off the list and let me know what the biggest
barriers are to moving from the DM to FV.

Thanks and regards,

Subject: [foxboro] 'Group' Visibility with DM

I've got a graphic where certain pieces of equipment need to 'disappear'
when they are not being used and other pieces of equipment need to appear 
in
their places when being used.  This would have been a piece of cake in
Foxview but I can't think of a good way to make it happen with Display
Manager.  I really don't want to set visibility on each line, arc,
rectangle, etc. if I don't have to.
Anybody got a better idea?

Thanks!
