SCALE AN ALARM/EVENT ICON
Changing the size of an alarm/event icon does not affect its position. For information on changing an icon’s position, refer to Move an Alarm/
Event Icon.
1. With the desired map loaded, right-click the alarm/event icon you want to resize and select Scale from the pop-up menu. Make sure you
position the pointer over the icon, not the label.
Figure 254. Changing Icon Size
2. Move the pointer away from the alarm/event icon to make the icon larger. Move the pointer towards the center of the icon to make it
smaller.
3. When the icon is sized the way you want it, press the left mouse button. The icon’s size freezes.
REMOVE AN ALARM/EVENT ICON FROM A MAP
Removing an alarm/event icon from a map does not affect any other icons for that alarm or event, whether they are on the same map or another
map, nor does it affect the alarm or event in the Object Browser. If you change your mind after removing an alarm/event icon from a map, you can
add it back as described in Place an Alarm/Event Icon on a Map.
With the desired map loaded, right-click the alarm/event icon you want to remove and select Remove from the pop-up menu. Make sure you
position the pointer over the icon, not the label, before right-clicking. The icon disappears from the map. If it is displayed, the alarm/event label
also is removed from the map.
NOTE: To minimize the CPU workload, icons should be as small as possible.
TIP: Hold the Shift key down while scaling to constrain the scaling to 5 unit increments.
NOTE: Scaling an alarm/event icon does not affect the size of the label. Refer to Scale an Alarm/Event Label for information on scaling the
label.
TIP: You do not need to have an alarm/event icon on a map in order for the alarm or event to function. Notification, sounds, scripts, and
archiving all function independently of the icon. The icon’s role is to provide operators with a visual alert.
