Hiding Default Plug-in Map Pages
When you create a custom plug-in map, its pa-
rameters are arranged in
pages that correspond
to the groups of controls that appear on a con-
trol surface.
When you page through the controls for a plug-
in on a control surface, the pages for custom
plug-in maps appear first, and the pages for the
Factory Default map appear after the custom
pages.
You can hide the Factory Default pages of a
plug-in, so that only the custom pages appear
on the control surface. This applies to all in-
stances of the plug-in.
To hide the Factory Default pages of a plug-in map:
1
Open the plug-in whose default plug-in map
pages you want to hide.
2
From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose
Hide Factory Default Pages.
