A page may be drawn within another page.
Suppose that you have an application that includes a master control page, providing monitoring of critical systems and also providing emergency controls. You would like these features to be available to operators regardless of the page they happen to currently be working on. This is easily accomplished by the following steps:
1. Draw the master control page.
The area taken up by the objects drawn on this page should be small compared to the full page size
2. Edit another page, where you want to be able to see the master controls
3. While still editing the Station Control page, open the Libraries dialog and select the Master Controls page.
4. Right-click on the Master Controls node and select Draw from the context menu.
5. Drop the Master Controls page on the Station Control page.
6. Click the OK button in the VTS Graphic Editor dialog that will appear – there are no graphic options that need to be changed.
Only that portion of the Master Controls page that contains graphic objects will be drawn. None of the empty space from the Master Controls page will be included.
You can move and resize the drawn page exactly like any other object.
Note that this does not create a copy of the Master Controls page – what you see in the Station Control page is the Master Controls page. The buttons and indicators work exactly the same as if you had made the Master Controls page current.
