Material View Options(Sp and DSp Page) | ||
| SpViewOptions... Display Options (Saved in CfgFiles folder):
NOTE: The following display options are saved in the Cfgfiles\xxxx.Options.ini file, where xxxx is the name of the configuration file. All projects using the same configuration file will use the same saved settings. If the xxxx.Options.ini file is deleted, the display options will revert to default settings. | ||
| StreamColumnCount | ValidRange:2-6 | This allows user to specify how many columns of data are displayed in the stream species (Sp) Tabs. The default is 3 columns, one column will always display mass flow, users can choose what to display on the other columns. See Species Flow Section Note: This value is set in the Project Configuration and therefore all projects using the same configuration will have the same number of columns visible on the Sp page of Links. |
| ContentColumnCount | ValidRange:2-6 | This allows user to specify how many columns of data are displayed in the content species (Sp) Tabs. The default is 3 columns, one column will always display mass, users can choose what to display on the other columns. Eg: Tank content in Dynamic Mode. Note: This value is set in the Project Configuration and therefore all projects using the same configuration will have the same number of columns visible on the Sp page of Units that have Content tabs. |
| ImageColumnCount | ValidRange:2-4 | This allows user to specify how many columns of data are displayed in the image species (PSp) Tabs. The default is 2 columns. Eg: Tank Preset Image in Dynamic Mode.. Note: This value is set in the Project Configuration and therefore all projects using the same configuration will have the same number of columns visible on the Sp page of Units that have Image tabs. |
| Display Options (Saved in BaseFilesUser folder):
NOTE: The following display options are saved in the BaseFilesUser\SysCAD.User.Name.ini file - [SpeciesView] group. All projects used by the user will use these settings. If the SysCAD.User.Name.ini file is deleted, the display options will revert to default settings. | ||
| PageLayout (See Species Flow Section) See Note 1. |
One | The Species, Component or Elemental information will be shown on the Sp Tab based on what is chosen in "Select" list. |
| Two-Always | The Species information will be shown with two Tabs, Sp where user can access species information by phase and EC where user can access Elemental and/or Components view. | |
| Two-Optional | The Species information will be shown with one or two tabs, EC Elemental or Components view is optional and can be shown/hidden by the user. This is the default setting. | |
| ShowEC_Page | Tickbox | This is only visible if the page layout is two pages. This is a Global User setting, so ticking this box will show the EC page in ALL SysCAD projects on the same computer. |
| ShowComponents | Tickbox | This is only visible if the page layout is two pages. This is a Global User setting, so ticking this box will show the components information in ALL SysCAD projects on the same computer. |
| ShowIons | Tickbox | |
| BasisPerColumn | Tickbox | If not ticked, then all column views will have the same basis (All, by phase and so on), if ticked, then each column can have different basis. This is a Global User setting, so ticking this box will change the basis in ALL SysCAD projects on the same computer. |
| UseGroupConversions | Tickbox | If ticked, then each column will have the same conversion units, if not ticked, then each field within the same column can have different conversion units. This is a Global User setting, so ticking this box will change the basis in ALL SysCAD projects on the same computer. |
| ResetToDefaults | Button | Pressing this button will change the Material View Options to the default settings. |
