Multiple image labels | All objects | If a PanelBuilder 1400e object used multiple image labels, only the top left image label is converted.

At run time on a PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminal, they will appear with a dot line style, since PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE do not support any other line styles.
