We have here over 50 DMs, Alex.
Have you any idea what Foxboro charges for the privilege to move to
FoxView?
I've just upgraded three workstations to Blades running vers 7.1.
I believe that I could have chosen to start with either DM or FV as the
default display on the new workstations.=20
But here is the silly part. All additional DMs, migrated from the old
workstations, needed to be re-licensed if I had chosen to make FV the
default display.
Our local Foxboro rep did check this with Foxboro Singapore and they
were adamant that I had to repay for the display licenses.
That would have cost us an additional NZ$30,000 or so to do that.
On top of that all the engineering hours to 'fix' the new FV displays.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is. I don't think so.
My 5cts worth.

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.=20
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!
