Allows you to modify the number of the animation pointThe points on a graphics page that are typically associated with displayed objects. When you add an object to your page, Citect SCADA automatically allocates a number (AN) to the animation point that represents the location of the object. (AN) of any object. You cannot change an AN to the same number as an existing AN on the graphics page.

Disables the display of Genie forms when a new Genie is added to the page or an existing Genie is edited. With Genie forms disabled, a form for each native object in the Genie displays.

Specifies that system pages will be included in:

• The list of pages in the Graphics Builder Open and Save dialog boxes.

Allows you to specify a color that becomes transparent when a bitmap is pasted on a graphics page. This applies to bitmaps that are pasted from the clipboard, or imported from another application.

Note: Transparent data bitsGroup of binary digits (bits) used to represent a single character of data in asynchronous transmission. are not natively supported by other applications. If pasting a bitmap into an external application, transparent bits will appear as the transparent paste color.

Lets you save graphics pages before inserting an ActiveX control. This stores your data if you insert custom-built ActiveX controls which cause the Graphics Builder to stop operating normally. With Automatic Page Saving enabled, if inserting an unstable ActiveX control causes such an event, you minimize the likelihood of losing work. When you reopen the Graphics Builder, you can normally recover the saved page.

The options are:

• Save page before inserting ActiveX controls: The graphics page is automatically saved with the current page name.
• Prompt before saving: A query will display, asking if you want to save the page before inserting an ActiveX control.
• Do not save automatically: The graphics page is not saved automatically, and the query is not displayed.
