•
Select Display Resolution - Selects AutoCAD, 3D Studio and AutoShade main display screen
resolutions
•
Select Rendering Resolution - Selects AutoCAD 12, 3D Studio and AutoShade rendering
resolutions
Note: When configuring TurboDLDClassic
's
display options, the Rendering Board/Resolution options
described below appear
ONLY
when configuring AVE Render, 3D Studio, or AutoShade. Otherwise,
the Display Board/Resolution options are the only menu choices available.
Basic Configuration
Basic Configuration menu options set AutoCAD screen characteristics, number of text lines in the
command-line area, font size, and dual screen mode.
•
AutoCAD Text Lines - Selects the number of lines in the AutoCAD command prompt area. The
default is 3 lines, but values from 1 to 10 can be specified. A number larger than 3 might be useful
if you are using this driver in a high resolution mode with small fonts, eliminating the need to
frequently swap back and forth between the text and graphics screens.
If you do not want any lines of text at the bottom of the display, use AutoCAD to disable the
command area (see the AutoCAD Interface, Installation and Performance Guide for more
information). Press
[Return]
to continue with font selection.
•
Font Size - Selects the AutoCAD display screen font or font file to be used. Choose the Font Size
you would like to use for your AutoCAD menus, pull-downs, and dialog boxes:
8x8/8x14/8x16/12x20/12x24. For resolutions over 800x600 we recommend the 12x20 or 12x24
fonts. The default is the 8x14 font.
•
Dual Screen Mode - Enables or disables dual screen operation of AutoCAD.
User Interface
User Interface options include parameters for maneuvering within AutoCAD. Using these options, the
Big Picture (Panacea's bird's-eye view) can be configured to suit your needs or allow for better
differentiation within a complex drawing.
•
Double Click - The Double Click option allows you to set the delay for TurboDLDClassic
's
Big
Picture pop-up. This value represents the largest amount of time that can elapse between the
release of the digitizer button and the subsequent press of the same button in order to detect a
double click and display the Big Picture. Setting this number too low results in the computer seeing
two separate clicks, while setting the time too high may slow down response time for single button
presses. Values between 10 and 30 are recommended.
The Double Click time is measured in hundredths of seconds. PC systems have a timing resolution
of 5/100ths of a second; therefore, the entered time is rounded by the driver to the most closely
approximate nearest multiple of 5. This means that a time setting of 23 is the same as a setting of
27, both of which get rounded to 25 (or one-quarter of a second). In simplest terms, when
adjusting the timing value, it is best to use multiples of 5.
•
BP Button - Sets the mouse/digitizer button to display the Big Picture (BP). With the BP Button
option, TurboDLDClassic gives you the flexibility to use a double click on an available
digitizer/mouse button as a Big Picture pop-up button. On the BP Button menu line, enter the
number of any available digitizer button other than button 1 - button 1 is reserved as the pick
button. Within AutoCAD, simply double click the chosen button to invoke the Big Picture.
•
BP Highlight Mode - Controls how the BP appears on the screen.
