With the introduction of the variants/options in 7.0 are there any plans to add some sort of API or automation related to managing the export variants command? 

For example, I create a master.idvx with multiple variants. I revise the master.idvx and need to generate all new exported project files. Ideally, I would accomplish this using an API call, but having some sort of "Publish" function would be a step in the right direction. Automation of the creation of project documentation would be nice as well. 

With MD3s no longer being available, I am being forced to upgrade my hardware and software.

If I just cut and paste the contents of the application over, all the IO links break.

I haven't even started on my dozens of screens yet.

Any tricks or shortcuts to make this upgrade easier?

having difficulty protecting a button, or hiding a button based on security level or password.

I want a screen to be available to maintenance when they have the correct security or password

I can find a way as of yet

Hi, my application includes English and Chinese languages, up until recently I used Arial Unicode MS font for the Chinese language and although it took a while to load it did work. Since updating my Design package from a previous 6.08 iteration to Design 6.08.32 this font is showing as invalid, and when I load an updated IDA file the language does not appear when selected, 

I have tried various fonts - Microsoft YaHei Light, Microsoft YaHei UI, NSimSun and various others, all seem to work in simulation but do not work when loaded to the MD4/7 units.

When I load the old software using IQAN run which has not been updated the Chinese language is there with no errors, however I need to move forward with the design, any ideas?

Would be fantastic if there was an area we can write comments about version changes over time.

Have it built in ... That way we know what we wrote :)

It might even be there I just havent found it

How can we pass arguments to external functions (use non-external channels within external functions)?   I cannot find a way to use FGI or public channel scope to create inputs for external functions.  I figured out VDINs can be used in external functions, what about other data types?  How would I create an external function that reacts to an IDC or manipulates integer data?

Hello,

I have a couple J1939 messages that are longer than 8 bytes (EC1 and RC) which are 40 and 19 bytes respectively, that I wish to transmit from the IQAN display on a J1939 network, each from a different source address. 

When I select multi-packet for the JFOUT, the source address is no longer configurable and must be set as the default source address. Is there a way around this or any advice? Thanks.

Hey folks - Did anyone notice warnings if camera video is of certain pixel even if it is within design boundary in IQAN design user interface ?

HI,  i have been struggling with this for a while now.   Keep getting wrong checksum. 

I'm sending out this data   and getting checksum incorrect checksum.  the only difference in these massages  is the CVC

Receiving with CAN identifier (YES):

for example the checksum for fist msg should be 0x89 not 0x94

Thanks for any help with this.
