Hello Mohamed,
If I really understand your problem, you have to proceed as follows:
With any graphic designer program, either Bitmap from Windows, you draw the design picture for your motor as you want.
Then Save your picture designed as .emf or .jpg file in a folder.
Then Copy with Explorer your file and Paste in your project in the folder GraCS. Example : D:\.....\.....\GraCS
When you open Graphic Designer and Insert a Picture Object you'll find your file in Drop Down List, Select and you'll have on your stil page in graphic designer your motor design.
If you have any problem, please let me know.. |

Hello Mohamed,
Maybe I've made a mistake...in the last post.
You must insert a Graphic Object from the Smart Objects in Graphic Designer....and not a Picture Object.
The rest of the considerations remains the same. |

Hello Mohamed,
It's OK if you are solving your problem...

Mohamed,
You need to use your own faceplate....
But as I saw it's necessary a little more knowledge of Object Oriented Programming for making this ...
There are some predefined faceplate but often these are not sufficient. |

I saw Kalkan pointed to your request.
It's true, once programmed a faceplate you can use it also in other projects.
Good luck. |
