In the Animated Bitmap object dialog box, next to the Add New Button click on the down arrow. You can select Disk, Symbol Factory or Clipboard.

Disk - If an iamage file is on your hard drive or other media on your PC, you can use it.

Symbol Factory - 4000 pre-packaged graphics available with C-more

Clipboard - If yu have Copied an image from somewhere else use clipboard to paste it in the object.

The example you see of the conveyor is in the Object Help, and is not an animated bitmap, but an eample of a screen using animated bitmaps.

You can download a sample project here: http://c-more.automationdirect.com/software/sample_projects.html

The automated bitmap and the dynamic bitmaps looks interesting, but where do you get the graphics? I don't use them because I am not an artist and I do not see different stages of the symbol to use it. How did they build the automated sample that is in the lower bottom, showing a conveyor with boxes moving. I do not see some of the symbols. Has anyone actually used those bitmaps? Again nice ideas but are they practical for the average user? I am not able to create symbols of shaded visual effects, unless I go buy software, but then the time involved is not practical. Is there any artist or anyone offering symbols. I do see where someone can upload to AD website, but not too many are doing that. Is AD willing to hire someone to create and publish symbols?
