Step 4: Customize the User Interface

You can fully customize the colors, fonts, toolbars, and status bars of the PC-DMIS user interface to work optimally with your Leica Laser Tracker. To help you more easily see the user interface elements when you measure features at a distance from your computer monitor, you may want to consider the following:

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.
