Please allow me to add my 2 cents. On a project in 2005, I have tested and verified that the behavior you note below (Foxdraw is performing the action on the PAKCIN as a whole, and not on an individual bit) is correct. This was tested on FoxDraw V10, I/A V8.2 on a P92 w/s. At the time, I had entered a CAR on the subject (CAR 1006559). Subsequent testing and response from GPS (TAC) confirmed this. By using B1 as a test bit, the bit extension seems to work because the whole PAKCIN parameter evaluation goes from 1 to 0 and back to 1 when toggling. Your suggestion for a follow-up test would defeat this and prove the theory. Best regards, Howard C.

Anytime any bit is set (the = pakcin is non-zero) all the fill items (or visibility, or any = discrete operation) will exhibit the TRUE condition. At least that's = what we are seeing. So it looks to us like Foxdraw is performing the = action on the PAKCIN as a whole, and not on an individual bit. Let me know.
