Has anyone been successful in configuring graphics using both tag sets and PCSD modules? Can you use tag set based graphics with PCSD modules? If so what's the correct syntax to make them work? We've tried configuring them based on what's in BOL and they don't work.

Curiosity got the best of me and I tried it out. Although only tried it out on a couple of dynamo's, tag groups do seem to work.
1. Create the tag group. (i.e. symbol = XXX, substitution = PI-001)
2. In the normal entry, replace the module name with @XXX@, XXX = name of the alias in the tag group.
3. In the CFixPicture Initialize in VBA, put on a line "Me.LoadTagGroupFile "d:\deltav\dvdata\graphics-ifix\YYY.tgd" with YYY the name of the tag group. You can use that VBA line for VBA click event to load another tag group.
Hope that helps.

Otto, I'm forwarding this on to our lead on the project. He's the one who told me that he couldn't make it work and he'd followed the instructions in BOL so I'll ask him once he's read this if this is exactly what he did. Just to be clear, you were using PCSD modules not standard DeltaV modules weren't you? We've had a number of problems using them.
Thanks very much
In reply to Bruce Brandt:
Yes, tested on PCSD dynamos for an AI type, Valve Type, and PID type. Load's correctly, and does the dynamic switching to another tag group fine.
It was more curiosity than anything else to see if PCSD dynamos broke with tag groups, but apparently, they still work.
Otto,
Well at least your's do. We followed the same procedure and our's don't. We'll have to give it another try since you've made it work apparently right out of the box.
