5.3.1 Updating work- and display area
Auto update
If the command Auto update is selected the layout from the work area is updated to the projection modules
reiteratively. This comprises the arrangement of objects and the object definitions. The iS
TUDIO software checks if
a conflict occurs (e.g. one source is used for two objects) and will display a warning in this case. Clicking OK will
display the invalid layout anyhow. Clicking Cancel will prevent from updating.
This command is also accessible via the
button or by pressing the shortcut key Ctrl+A.
As long as this command is selected, the command Get layout has no use. If changes are done too fast after
each other the auto update is sometimes ignored. In this case the command Update layout can be used.
Update layout
The command Update layout transfers the layout from the work area to the projection modules and to the Dis-
play area. This comprises the arrangement of objects and the object definitions. The iS
TUDIO Software checks if a
conflict occurs (e.g. one source is used for two objects) and will display a warning in this case. Clicking OK will
display the invalid layout anyhow. Clicking Cancel will prevent from updating. If the layout is already saved, then
in addition the name of the layout will be displayed on the Display area.
The command Update layout is also accessible via the
button, the shortcut key Ctrl+U.
Get layout
The command Get layout transfers the layout from the selected module to the work area.
The command Get layout is also accessible via the
button or the shortcut key Ctrl+G.
If you get a layout from the module to the work area while there are unsaved changes in the
layout on the work area, you are prompted to save changes in the layout on the work area.
