Window Layouts Toolbar

Window Layouts toolbar

You can use the Window Layouts toolbar (View | Toolbars | Window Layouts) to store the layout of the any open windows, editors, and toolbars. You can click on a stored layout to restore it in your current measurement routine.

Layouts don't only store positions of toolbars and windows; they also store settings and options associated with the windows and toolbars. If a layout has a certain setting selected, and you then save that layout, the setting gets saved with the layout. If you later deselect that window setting, without overwriting the stored layout, the next time you select the layout, PC-DMIS restores the saved setting.

This toolbar contains the following icons:

Minimize - This icon minimizes the Edit window’s size.

Maximize - This icon maximizes the Edit window’s size.

Save - This icon displays the Enter Window Layout Name dialog box that allows you to save the current position and size of any open windows, editors, or toolbars under a desired layout name:

The Window Layout Name box specifies the name of the layout. PC-DMIS also displays this name as a tooltip for the icon associated with the layout. If you don't include a layout name, PC-DMIS uses a default name of "Recall Window Layout".

Once you click OK, the layout gets saved and an icon () that represents that layout appears on the toolbar with your layout configuration.

You cannot overwrite an existing layout with a new layout by giving it the same name. If you want to overwrite an existing layout, first delete the existing layout, and then give it the same name.

Restore Saved Layout - This icon restores the stored layout. Any windows, editors, and toolbars are restored to their saved positions. Position your mouse pointer over the icon to show the name of the stored layout.

If you have multiple measurement routines open and have created a stored layout using one of the measurement routines, precedence is given to the measurement routine on which the layout was created. The measurement routine used to create the stored layout then becomes the active measurement routine and displays the stored window layout.
