8.5.11 Add Pages from Data Points
Similar to the above command, but available for menu items. In this mode, the selected data
point folder will be scanned for data points and pages will be created to visualize them. If
there are sub folders present, a new sub menu will be created to hold the menu items for the
data point sub folders, similar to the operation above (add items from data points). The page
wizard is described in more detail in section 15.3.
8.5.12 Update Instances
Available in the context menu of templates, causes all instances of the selected template to
be updated. Note that updates are done automatically whenever an object outside the
template is selected after the template was modified, so this command should normally not
be required.
8.5.13 Restore Defaults
This command is available in the context menu of template instances, and all objects which
are part of a template instance. The command becomes available on objects for which there
are local changes recorded. Using this command, the corresponding object will be restored
to the state defined by the template, that is, all local changes related to the selected object
will be discarded. Calling this command on the top level of a template instance will restore
the entire instance to the default state.
8.6 Tool Bar
The tool bar in the main window contains some of the commands which are used more
often. Pointing the mouse on one of the tool bar buttons will open a small bubble help with
a short description of the buttons function. All functions of the tool bar are also accessible
from the main menu. Similar to the menu items, most of the buttons will be mentioned in
the sections where their functionality is described, except for some of the general functions
which are listed in the following sections.
8.6.1 Preview Settings
There are three toggle buttons to control the most often needed aspects of the LCD preview.
They turn the following features of the preview on and off (from left to right):
Resize Frame:
This button controls display of the resize frame (Section 8.3.4).
Snap to Grid:
The middle of the three buttons toggles the snap to grid function,
as described in Section 8.3.7.
Snap to Edges:
The last button toggles the snap to edges function, as described
in Section 8.3.6.
8.6.2 Layout Tools
To aid in the layout of controls on the page, there are a few buttons located in the tool bar
which become available when two or more controls are selected in the LCD preview.
To select more than one control at the same time, select the first control, press and hold the
shift key, and select additional controls.
