3. By default, the converted file is automatically placed into the same directory. To modify the name of the file

or location, click the Browse… button for the HMI5000 project file.

4. Default font: All text objects in theEasyBuilder-500 project file use a proprietary fixed font. When converting

to an EasyBuilder-5000 project, these text objects are converted to TrueType fonts. Use this section to

specify which TrueType fonts you wish to use.

The EZware-500 configuration software uses proprietary fonts that must be replaced with a Windows

TrueType font. EZware-5000 installs three TrueType fonts into the Windows > Fonts folder that closely

resemble the fonts used in EZware-500 (HMI 500 16p, HMI 500 24p, HMI 500 8p). Select Use HMI500 ASCII

font files to use these fonts. If you choose to use another Windows TrueType font (by unchecking Use

HMI500 ASCII font files), additional ‘tweaking’ may be required after you have converted your project. We

recommend using Calibri if you have this font available on your computer. Otherwise, another san serif font

like Helvetica should work.

You can allow EasyBuilder-5000 to automatically adjust the font size for you by selecting Use the most

suitable font size automatically. If you uncheck this box, you can click on the Font Size Table button, which

allows you to customize the transition size of the fonts from EasyBuilder-500 to EasyBuilder-5000 projects.

This gives you maximum flexibility in deciding which font and which sizes you would like to use. For the

Calibri font, we recommend those items as shown in the table below.

5. Delete “Direct Window” objects which are triggered with LB9060~9069, 9080, 9081, (HMI5000-series use a

new mechanism to manage keyboards.): Check this box to delete any Direct Windows objects in the

EasyBuilder-500 project file that are triggered by the internal local memory bits LB9060-LB9069, LB9080-

LB9081.

In EasyBuilder-500, these local memory bits allowed a popup window to appear in the display based upon

touching any Numeric Input or ASCII Input object located in a particular area of the screen. This feature is not

available in EZware-5000. By default, this option is checked.

6. Click the Translate button to begin conversion of the file. When done, you will see text in the comments field

that indicates if the conversion is successful.
