What's the command to convert to a .g file? I'm only familiar with the
d_edit -dump (filename) and d_edit -uploade (filename)
I tried these and all I can see are the tagnames which isn't too useful
because it's just c:mcin.pakcin

Hi,
As one of the initial Foxdraw/FoxView designers I will disappoint you.
While the DM pdf where record based displays which included continue after
continue records. There is No limitation for configuration data.
The SL (company of the Middleware display software), has designed its m1
file (= fdf file) and the FoxDraw/SL API by using a max size on the dynamic
properties. I don't remember what the max size is (3000 bytes in that
order), but that might be changed after 20 years. Anyhow, there is a limit
and it sounds like that with a lockup of 90 bitmap states you hit the limit.
If this is the case, then you might can work around it by using multiple
objects. But, if I were you, submit a CAR and send your DM display to
foxboro.
Good luck.

Ps. use d_edit50 tool on the DM file to show configuration. Convert FoxView
display to .g. This is ASCII file which you can print or using notepad to
look at.
