There is also this tool that elfstyle made. Not sure he has a user in this forum but he was active in the original one. Maybe you'll find more success with his implementation. https://sourceforge.net/projects/instancecreator/

The Bulk Edit tool does not create points, it just lets you quickly edit parameters and property overrides of existing objects.

I did not know this and this will be nice especially when I have things open that have the same Name. This beats using the tooltip to see the FullName to know which I want to select.

That all looks correct. I even tried it on mine with a Modbus simulator. You could try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost Make sure the Simple Modbus scanner is not in service at the same time. Maybe your simulator only supports one connection. You can enable Comms Logging on the Channel and see if there is anything in the log to give you an answer to what the problem is. Your Modbus simulator may also have logging. Mine does and I could see connection requests but then it closed the port. On the Channel, I forgot to set Modbus to TCP, it was still on RTU.

Thanks, everyone for your suggestions. I don't think using the Automation interface is practical for this application. That would still be something that the user adding a new location would have to do. What I ended up with script-wise was a comparison of the first two characters of an instance name with a group of parameters in another instance. to show/hide lines and animate some colors. getting to that was a process of a few failures on how to get the animation I wanted where there is the option of using a bunch of different instances, in different orders of location. I found a solution that does not use any scripting. So far I have not broken it anyway. My new solution just uses the animations and compares the first two characters of the Name (which is set through a mimic parameter) and String Parameter by using LEFT() This method does not need the Shared with other embedded mimics set to False. So while it solves my specific issue it is not a solution to the actual question I asked.

I swear I read in the help that you could use Mimic_Load but not Mimic_Navigate. I think I found a completely different solution. I think I can just manipulate the animations to do what I want.

Bevan, Well unfortunately, in this case anyway, that did not work. I gave me the exact same behavior. I still had to uncheck it on the embedded version of the New Mimic to make it work.

I am pretty sure the answer is no, but is there any way to make the default for "Shared with other embedded mimics" to be False? I know why it is true by default, but for this project, it should be fine without it. At the moment I am showing/hiding lines based on some parameters that are read as the mimic loads. I need it false because with "Shared with other embedded mimics" set to true: Mimic_load on the embedded mimic does not work. If a button executes the code all the embedded mimics change, instead of just the one. Unchecking the "Shared with other embedded mimics" box is an extra step I don't want the users to have to do. It will make their task even more complex when creating a new location.

I have never had this happen, but I would try deleting the ActiveX and reinstalling it on the Remote Operator's PC.
