Good afternoon,
i try to use paper widget and i want to add some text inside my svg content.
I have seen the example on ASH ASHelp online

As far as i’ve understood paperwidget communicate only with plc by opcua server side ..so i think it is impossible to link an IAT text .
for example:

<text class="cText" font-family="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" font-size="25" y="380" x="200">$$IAT/Obj1/1</text>


Am i right? Thanks

You are right, using the text system inside the SVG that is being displayed paper widget is not possible. As a workaround you could build the text string inside the PLC using the ArTextSys library to resolve the text. Did this in the past. → This also means you would have to map down the selected language of each device that is connected to the PLC and then resolve it for each device individually.
Or put a Label/TextOutput overlay onto the PaperWidget

Do you mind me asking what this SVG looks like?

You can actually create an SVG from scratch with any kind of text embedded very easily by using EventScript / mappScript!

Good afternoon Marcel,
sorry for delay but i was busy.. The svg is a P&I Layout. I want to put some label on the object present on the P&I and i’d like to have a solution for simply adapt the project also for different geographic zone (e.g. china, arabia etc..) .. i haven’t used yet the event script of mappscript but i really appreciate if you could give me a usage description (related to my case) or an example. Thanks
