Re: [foxboro] stddisp

Rick,
 
I think that the stddisp is part of display manager commands where DM or FV 
will get the block type from the C:B that is referenced and grab the default 
display for that block type.
 
From  command line you can
 
pref -DMNAME dmcmd "dmcmd stddisp COMP:BLOCK"
 
and the FV or DM will display that block default display.  So if COMP:BLOCK is 
a CIN, you will get a CIN default display.

Freelist Wizards:  I have mentioned earlier having to repair/replace  many of
the standard templates/overlays that came with a new Windows/Mesh  system. 
There is one more that is stumping me that I can't find.

It started with noticing that when I had a detailed display up of a CIN 
block, and did a SOURCE on the IN parameter, the source path that came up 
(which 
referred to a pakin bit) would truncate the last digit of the bit  identifier.
 No problem for bits 1-9, but .B18 for example, would show  as .B1.  Real
problem if you're trying to validate PLC's.

I thought "I've seen this type of problem before when compound names  were
being truncated at 9 characters."  I successfully fixed a bunch of  templates in
that case and duly put them in /opt/customer/displib/Overlays,  where they
continue to work nicely.  So I decided to try the same approach,  only to find
that the Detail button refers to "stddisp", and for the life of me,  I can't
find that template in order to give the pathname final .extension a  little more
length.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I did both a Unix find and Windows search  and
didn't find any files with stddisp in the name.  I haven't bothered to  call
Foxboro since they never responded on the initial problem with the compound 
name truncation.  And yes, I checked and this problem exists both in the 
Unix/Solaris domain and Windows/Mesh, so it's been around a long time and who  
knows
how many false tracings it has led to.  I suspect that the problem  only
exists where the C:B.P takes the full 32 characters, however even in  this 
case, it
reports the additional extension, but only 3 characters,  ie .B1 instead of
the possible 4, ie .B18.

OK, you gurus, have any of you encountered this?  Is there such an  animal as
a stddisp template/faceplate/overlay?  If so, where is it or how  is it
disguised?  If not, what can I do to see both digits?  Thanks,
