<h2>Rotary Control Operation</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are three choices for the way on-screen control
|
||
|
|
panel rotary objects work.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li class="p"><p class="hcp1">Vertical
|
||
|
|
- adjust by clicking in the centre of the control
|
||
|
|
then moving the mouse up and down.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="p"><p class="hcp1">Horizontal
|
||
|
|
- adjust by clicking in the centre of the control
|
||
|
|
then moving the mouse from side to side.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Rotary - adjust by clicking the mouse on the control
|
||
|
|
and using a circular motion to mimic a hand turning
|
||
|
|
the control.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each method has its advantages:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li class="p"><p class="hcp1">Linear (vertical
|
||
|
|
or horizontal) control is easier to use when adjusting
|
||
|
|
rotary controls without looking at the screen, e.g.
|
||
|
|
when looking up to listen to audio.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Rotary control is sometimes preferred for more
|
||
|
|
accurate control settings and is perhaps more intuitive
|
||
|
|
for novice users.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<h2>Major grid marks every...</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>This alters the view of the grid found in the Main design
|

|
|
space (toggled on/off using the Show/Hide Grid toolbar
|
||
|
|
button). While minor grid marks are fixed on a 10x10 spacing,
|
||
|
|
the bolder major grid marks can be adjusted to help align
|
||
|
|
design objects. The range is between 1 and 20 minor grid
|
||
|
|
marks.</p>

<h2>Display application closing window</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>When checked, the application will show a dialog while
|
||
|
|
<a href="MAINIntroduction.htm">London Architect</a> is
|
||
|
|
closing down, which can take some time. 'Closing Down'

<h2>Optimise for tablet PC</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Enable this option if you are using a tablet PC and
|
||
|
|
are experiencing mistaken re-triggering of buttons on
|
||
|
|
control panels. With this function enabled, HiQnet London
|
||
|
|
Architect control panels (in operate mode) ignore rapid
|
||
|
|
changes in mouse down/up messages. This helps to prevent
|
||
|
|
multiple mouse clicks often associated with tablet PCs
|
||
|
|
and other touchscreen controllers when gesturing or dragging
|
||
|
|
on the screen.</p>

<h2>Display Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard
|
||
|
|
at Log On Dialog</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>To make it easier to log into a secured
|
||
|
|
design using a tablet PC, this option
|
||
|
|
will display an on-screen keyboard with
|
||
|
|
the Log On Dialog to facilitate password
|
||
|
|
entry without rotating the tablet display
|
||
|
|
to access the physical keyboard.</p>

|
<p>If the above ''Display Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard
|
||
|
|
at Log On Dialog'' option is enabled as well as this option,
|
||
|
|
the on-screen keyboard will be centered below the Log
|
||
|
|
On Dialog. If this option is not enabled, the on-screen
|
||
|
|
keyboard will have its default position assigned by the
|
||
|
|
operating system.</p>

<p>With this option checked, the screen which is displayed

<h2>Always expand parameters in property grid</h2>
|

<p>The list of parameters for any <a href="Processing Object Descriptions.html">processing

|
object</a> can be seen in the properties grid by clicking
|

on +. With the "Always expand parameters in property

grid" checked, clicking on any processing object
|

will show its parameters within the properties box.</p>
|

<h2>Use Cursor Edit Box Navigation</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>When this is enabled you can use the cursor keys and
|
||
|
|
TAB / SHIFT + TAB, to navigate between edit boxes on a
|
||
|
|
control panel in operate mode.  Use the ENTER key
|
||
|
|
to edit.  The currently active edit box is shown
|
||
|
|
highlighted.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use ALT + cursor keys to bump the current value of the
|
||
|
|
control.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When this option is not set, the cursor keys are used
|
||
|
|
to bump the value of the control last clicked on.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p> </p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Use middle mouse button to pan and zoom</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>With this option enabled, you can use the middle mouse
|
||
|
|
wheel to pan and zoom the view. Also, click on the middle
|
||
|
|
mouse wheel and drag to navigate around the window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the option is disabled, rotating the middle wheel
|
||
|
|
moves the view up and down, click and hold the middle
|
||
|
|
wheel down to pan and zoom.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Show mute state on Processing Objects</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Many processing objects can have their inputs and/or
|
||
|
|
outputs muted. When this box is checked there will be
|
||
|
|
a red indication on all Processing Object inputs and outputs
|
||
|
|
which are muted.</p>
