Switching windows
Reference: The Support Tool can operate windows in the same manner as other Windows
applications. Here, only the functions that can be selected from the Support
Tool menus are explained.
Opening a new window
To open a new window for the data creation screen that is active, follow the pro-
cedure described below.
Reference 1. Windows with the same screen number display the same contents.
2. When the same screen is displayed in two windows, elements can be copied
between the windows by dragging them while pressing the Ctrl key. Usually,
copying an element to a desired position in the same screen is not possible.
However, if two same windows are opened, it is possible to copy an element
to a desired position although they are on the same screen.
(Similarly, if different screen data files of the same PT model are opened by
two Support Tools, it is possible to copy screen data between the files.)
3. When multiple windows that have the same screen number exist, the follow-
ing information is displayed in the window title area (for standard screens).
x Standard Screen:
y
(x: Screen number, y:
Serial number)
Serial numbers will be assigned in the order the windows are opened. If any
window presently opened is closed, the serial numbers are renumbered au-
tomatically.
4. The Support Tool can open up to ten windows at the same time in addition to
the application manager window.
Operation
(1) Specify the screen.
Click on the screen or double-click on the screen icon to open multi-
windows.
(2) Select [New Window] from [Window] in the menu bar.
An additional window opens for the screen specified in step (1).
Arranging windows
Windows can be arranged in any of the following three ways.
Cascade:
All windows are cascaded in such a way that window titles are visible. All
windows are displayed at the same size.
The order of cascading differs depending on the display position of the win-
dows before the cascading operation is attempted.
Tile:
All windows are arranged over the entire main window area at the same size.
However, the sizes may differ slightly, depending on the number of windows.
The order of tiling differs depending on the display position of windows be-
fore tiling operation is attempted.
