The above settings are pre-configured and installed for the tracker interface.
Creating Customized Toolbars
You can customize and exchange toolbars between PC-DMIS installations. The toolbar.dat file is in the <PC-DMIS Install Directory> or <user name> directory. Copy the toolbar.dat file to the other PC-DMIS installation to make the custom toolbars available. The "Tracker Toolbars" topic discusses the default toolbars for Leica trackers.
Customizing OpenGL Settings
Adapt the OpenGL settings for the solid view mode as required by the installed video card. To do this, select the Edit | Preferences | OpenGL menu item. Then make adjustments as explained in the "Changing OpenGL Options" topic in the "Setting Your Preferences" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
