Make sure to check out the HMI Builder, its a cool addition. The default background is not the best, so please use your own!

Thanks!

The HMI is a nice feature. Just tried out a basic design.

Not sure if I've found a bug or not but my Win labels in v3.4 will not display correctly. They do for process 0 but in any other process it displays the same labels as in process 0. They still follow the correct path. I've double checked in the edit processes and the correct labels are there and enabled just not in the state diagram or in the state diagram pull down menu choices. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, that's a bug. I'm going to pull down the firmware link and get a quick patch in there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Win labels on the win buttons displaying correctly now, but not in the state diagram on the Main Control page or the Edit Processes page. Also on the Edit Processes page, it does not show the win labels correctly in the exit condition dropdowns.

EDIT: the above is for processes other than process 0 as the incorrect labels seem to be using the process 0 labels. I have a BCS-460.

Yeah, you're right. They work for P0 and P4, that's it.
