Default position of faceplate on the screen can be changed in "Library Structure->Default View Class->ABB System->Faceplate".

You need modify "Default" Viewclass aspect in there.

How to make faceplate appear in the center of the screen:

Suppose your screen resolution is 1280x720 pixels.

Then screen center coordinates (Xs, Yx) are:

Xs = 1280/2 = 640,

Ys = 720/2 = 360.

Faceplate window default size is 260 x 248 pixels.

Then we need to calculate coordinates of the top left corner of the faceplate (as per given display resolution) as position from top left corner of full screen:

Xf = Xs - 260/2 = 640 - 130 = 520,

Yf = Ys - 248/2 = 360 - 124 = 236.

Now open "Default" aspect in config view and specify:

For X Position:

Datasource = local

Value = 520

For Y Position:

Datasource = local

Value = 236

Apply changes and re-open workplace.

Now all the faceplates must opening in the center of the screen.

P.S. This must be valid for all screens on all nodes in your system.

If nodes in your system have various screen resolution then you must create a personel rule for each node. This can be done in the same aspect ("Default").

regards
