There is a method of using a screenshot of a DCS screen as a background in a Processbook graphic and replacing the dynamic symbols with the Processbook symbols

It is detailed here

I am guessing that you could use freeware like Inkscape to modify your SVG files and save them as a gif or jpg and do the same thing.

This is in the OSIsoft PI System: Showcase your products section of this forum, so I guess it's OK to repeat it. In the Data Visualisation section there is an item DSS GrITS. Data South Systems sells a product that interfaces with several DCS platforms - including the Delta V - that will convert a DCS graphic file to a PB .pdi file.

We've purchased a copy and are learning how to use it - it appears to be good at what it does, but there are some limitiations, in that the logic/code behind dynamos isn't recreated in the .pdi. However, it will build PV Values that map to the appropriate PI tags, based on giving it a list of DV-to-PI mappings. I think you could characterize us as 'happy users' of GrITS, and the sales and technical folks at DSS are easy to work with.
