Only the most important display features will be explained.
You can test for yourself what the unexplained features accomplish.

Some important considerations of the graphical display

  • Sizes do not have a correspondance with the real installation. The objects are only represented by symbols which you can size at will.

  • Modification of the structure will often reset the default positioning and sizes of the objects. It is therefore important to define the structure completely before laying the final touch on the display.


    Display Features

  • Right to Left
    The default orientation is left to right. Checking this menu inverses the graphical representation of the installation.

  • Margin
    The margin on the left and right of the window can be set to zero, one or two position widths.

  • Space Settings
    These define how much vertical space is taken up by different items.

  • Divide Line at Position
    Very long installations can be divided at the desired position.


    Default Positioning of All Objects

    This action recalculates positions for all objects that have not been marked as fixed.

    Objects Default Images

    The left and right panel are used to define a combination Object/Image.
