Hello everyone, I am encountering an issue when transferring a graphic from ME to SE as it is not carrying over the text properly, displaying everything as question marks. Is there a method to automatically include the text when moving from ME to SE, instead of having to manually input the missing text? This will save time and ensure accurate data transfer.
This issue often arises due to a discrepancy in language settings between different projects. I have encountered this problem specifically with English (Australian) while attempting to import ready-made Rockwell graphics created in English (US). Rockwell's decision to display question marks instead of the original text when a translation file is missing can lead to confusion.
Beedog pointed out that the issue may be due to a language discrepancy between projects. He encountered a similar problem when attempting to import Rockwell graphics created in English (US) into an English (Australian) environment. Rockwell's solution to display question marks instead of untranslated text is contentious. However, it seems that in this case, both files are actually in the same language. Thank you for your input, Beedog.
Hey there, it sounds like you might be dealing with a character encoding issue. Check the settings on both your ME and SE to ensure they're using the same text encoding, like UTF-8, for example. This usually happens when there's a mismatch. If both systems are not set to the same encoding standard, it can result in those annoying question marks. Also, if the text contains any special or non-standard characters that aren't recognized by the SE, that can cause problems too.
It sounds like you're experiencing a common encoding issue when transferring from ME to SE. Sometimes, software defaults to a standard form of encoding that can't recognize certain symbols or characters. Try adjusting the encoding settings in your software to UTF-8, which usually supports a wide range of characters. This could help ensure a flawless transition of both graphic and text. Of course, always remember to back up your data before attempting these changes!
Hi there, it sounds like you're dealing with a font issue. The ME system might be using a font that's not available or not supported in SE, causing it to display as question marks. To correct this, try converting the text to curves or outlines before transferring it to SE. This will essentially transform the text into a graphic, allowing it to be recognized and displayed accurately. This might save you time from having to manually input the missing text. Remember to keep the original files with text saved elsewhere if you need to make changes to the text later.

Answer: 1. Why is the text not transferring properly from FactoryTalk ME to FactoryTalk SE? - The issue of text displaying as question marks when transferring a graphic from ME to SE could be due to encoding or font compatibility issues between the two systems.
Answer: - Currently, there may not be an automated way to ensure text transfer from ME to SE without manual input. However, exploring encoding settings and font compatibility can help streamline the process.
Answer: - To save time and ensure accurate text transfer, it is recommended to check and adjust encoding settings, as well as verify font compatibility between ME and SE platforms before transferring graphics.
