CUSTOMIZING SYSTEM Customizing System T-FLEX CAD provides a vide range of system customization capabilities. You can set color preferences, customize dialog boxes appearance, define function key combinations for quick command access, set tool windows location on the screen. To define this kind of parameters, a customization group of commands is provided. The information about the application settings is stored in the system registry. Different application settings for different users are supported on the same computer. To restore default system settings, use the item “Reset Default System Settings” in the system menu group “T-FLEX CAD” under the “Start” button on the Windows task bar in the lower-left corner of the screen. Setting Options. Dialog of “Set System Options” Command The command for customizing the system is "SO: Set System Options": Keyboard Textual Menu Icon “Customize|Options” The command brings up a dialog box with various groups of parameters available on the respective tabs. “User Info” Tab This tab of the dialog specifies the user name, the name of the company using the system and its license number. The user name and the company name are saved in each newly created document file. Additionally, these parameters, along with the license number, are automatically included in the text of the message to the technical support group generated by the command “Help|Technical support…”. A message to the technical support group is based on a template whose location is defined by the parameter “Technical Support Message Form”. 131
Fundamentals. Two-Dimensional Design “Preferences” Tab Contains various-purpose parameters. Node size. Sets the size in pixels of a node on the screen. Node join distance. Sets the radius in pixels for locating nodes on the screen. The join distance radius is used when creating new nodes in the “free drawing” mode. If the cursor is within the join distance of some node then this node will be selected instead of creating a new node. “Transparent Element Editing. When this parameter is turned on, upon selection of 2D elements in the command waiting mode with the help of , the command of editing a selected element is automatically started. If this parameter is turned off, nothing is happening after choosing a 2D element, the system just waits for the user's commands. This parameter is turned on by default. Node construction is transparent. Setting this parameter allows calling the node creation command from within any other command. To do so, type “N”. This will not abort the current command. Dimension edit is transparent. This option toggles on/off the transparent mode of the command “Parameters|Dimensions”. The latter command allows selecting dimensions on the drawing and editing their nominal values. The construction entities that are driven by the dimension are being identified and relocated (if possible) according to the new value. Use Dynamic Toolbar. This parameter controls the image of the dynamic toolbar upon selection of 2D and 3D elements in the command waiting mode with the help of . This toolbar includes commands frequently used for the selected element. For 2D elements the dynamic toolbar is displayed only when the parameter “Transparent Element Editing” is turned off. Undo/Redo buffers. You can specify the maximum number of user actions to be remembered by the “UN: Undo Changes” and “RED: Redo Changes” commands. This parameter should be specified before opening a file. Right mouse button action. This parameter defines the action performed on the right mouse button push while in commands. The action is selected from the pulldown list. 132 At your choice, pressing in different modes will either bring up a context menu or cancel the current command. For example, if the entry “Menu in command…” is selected, then the context menu on pressing the right button will be duplicating the automenu while in a command. Invert Mouse Wheel Direction on Zoom. This option serves to switch to the opposite the zooming direction in the system windows with the mouse wheel spinning. Show Start Page on Start. Defines whether to launch the “Start Page” dialog box on the application startup.
