MANAGING THE WORKSPACE
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The
SPLCD System Window
is scalable so the SPLCD System Window workspace can
be enlarged for placing and aligning
Source
and
Function Buttons
. Clicking the
Properties
and
Project
Overview Auto-Hide Buttons
(thumb tacks), sends those windows to the margins. This allows the SPLCD
System Window to be expanded to its greatest size, by dragging the
lower right corner
diagonally, making the
button placement process much easier.
(Figure 20)
Rolling over
the
Project Overview
or
Properties Tab
with
the mouse will cause the Window to pop-up. The Window will automatically ‘hide’ by moving the mouse
anywhere on the screen, clearing the view of the workspace. To keep the window open, for example to add or
edit text on a button, roll over the
Properties Tab
to un-hide the window, click the
Auto-Hide Button
again,
and the window will stay in place as originally sized. This is also useful by hiding and unhiding the
Project
Overview Tab
for direct selection of individual pages without covering the workspace.
