Cannot change to hierarchical page model in EcoStruxure Machine Expert - HVAC 1.7.0

[js123]

I cannot change from the default "Flat" page model to the "Hierarchical" page model. The software allows me to select the change, but nothing happens. I use the following procedure:

1. Create a new project (M172 28-42 I/Os)

2. Navigate to the "Display" tab

3. Click "Properties" in the "HMI Project" window

4. Select "Flat" in the "Page model" section of the "Page" tab in the "Page properties" window

5. Press the "OK" button

When I re-open the "Page properties" window, the "Flat" page model is still selected. In fact, nothing on the "Pages" tab of the "Page properties" window can be changed. However, the settings of the other tabs of that window can be changed.

I am using version 1.7.0 of EcoStruxure Machine Expert - HVAC on a Windows 11 Pro 24H2 PC in English.

I could reproduce the problem. We need to investigate.

Hi,

it's a bug of version 1.7, it will be solved in the next release.

Workaround is a manual change in the  .pagx file:
