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:
Fonts - To change the font or increase the font size for PC-DMIS, select the Edit | Preferences | Fonts menu item.
Background - To alter the background color of the Graphic Display window, select the Edit | Graphic Display Window | Screen Color menu item.
Menus - To see larger menus, select the View | Toolbars | Customize menu item, then from the Menu tab, select the Use Large Menus option.
Toolbars - To see larger toolbar icons, select the View | Toolbars | Customize menu item, then from the Menu tab, select the Use Large Toolbars option.
Status Bar - To see a larger status bar, select the View | Status Bar | Large menu item.
Tracker Status Bar - To toggle the Tracker status bar, select the View | Status Bar | Tracker menu item.
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.
