I wanna to add some signal name in my main display of MK V so I have gone through the RUNTIME directory where I found UNIT file. That UNIT file included the GRAPHIC and GRAPHIC.A0 files. I edited the GRAPHIC.A0 file as for my requirement directly through EDIT option (not from ANIM GRAPHI in DOS command prompt). AFTER SAVING I HAVEN'T FOUND THE CHANGE I REQUIRE. Please tell me the procedure. It is very helpful for me.

 

If you really want the fastest, most concise answer, please tell us precisely what signal you are trying to add and how you are trying to add it. Include the CDB signal pointname and the animated item list file command you are trying to use as well as the coordinates of the location where you are trying to place the item/value.

You can, from a command prompt, display the GRAPHIC.A0 file by typing the command:

ANIM GRAPHIC

I would recommend that if you are trying to edit an included file you run that file separately to make sure that you have the item command display and placement correct then try running the "master" file.

It's been many years, but if I recall correctly you can run the file with the command above, press F2 (More Options), then F3 (which should launch an ASCII text file editor to open the animated display item list file for viewing/editing), make any desired changes, save and exit the file which should result in the animated display item list file being displayed with the changes. So, it's a quick jump from the display to the editor (press F2 then F3) and when finished with making changes just save and exit the ASCII text editor (usually ALT +F4 or ALT +X) to quickly view the display with the changes.

But, the problem may be the command you are using or how you are placing the command. Also, be aware that when you are editing an included animated display item list file in another file (as you are describing), that placement of the item is critical and can be "covered" by one file or the other if not properly positioned.

So, please tell us exactly what you're trying to do and how you're trying to do it. Because, it should be as simple as you describe, but if there's something wrong with the item command line or the position then it might actually be working but covered or blocked by another value or item.
