PI Vision 2023

igreguri

I read in the PI Vision 2023 release notes following...

 

Other changes

  • PI ProcessBook support
  • This release no longer supports read-only viewing of imported PI ProcessBook displays. Use the PI ProcessBook to PI Vision Migration Utility to migrate your existing PI ProcessBook displays to native, editable PI Vision displays.

 

So, as of this version of PI Vision, imported .svg graphics can no longer be used at all?

In my case, I have over 1000 svg imported graphics that when converted are no longer usable.

I'm not one bit happy about that.

 

Regards,

Igor

    So there are no folders associated with .SVGs anymore? I wanted to use ProcessBook as a developer tool for screens. The WebUI is too slow to edit 1000s of dashboards. ProcessBook is nice because saving as an SVG allows you to mass change variables such as colors, links, etc using something like NOTEPAD++ find and replace all. I hope you AVEVA guys read this and put the ProcessBook/SVG support back into PI VISION. It makes no sense to remove such a great way to develop dashboard screens. Terrible direction this company is going in. No thought just cutting costs I guess.

    Remember, allowing the usage of ProcessBook displays in PI Vision was a work-around to allow end-users to convert their existing displays to the new platform. ProcessBook is a deprecated product and will not be re-introduced into PI Vision. There are companies that offer solutions / workflows for converting ProcessBook displays into native PI Vision displays (while helping to convert existing custom functionality).

     

    That being said, the data is (mostly) exposed as XML in which it could be modified. But it would be beneficial to have an official mechanism to bulk edit displays. Although it looks like they may have already declined that route Multistate Symbol Bulk Editing | AVEVATm PI SystemTm Feedback Portal. I'd recommend reaching out to your CSM and voicing your thoughts.
